It has been three years since Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, launched direct flights from Cardiff to Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh.
The National Airport for Wales marked the third anniversary with an online competition for followers to win a pair of free tickets on the route.
Loganair’s convenient trip has been used by over 55,000 customers since it started, visiting both countries for work and pleasure.
Spencer Birns, CEO of Cardiff Wales Airport, said: “I and the entire Airport team want to say thank you to Loganair. It’s been amazing to see customers enjoy the advantages of using the Loganair flights, connecting two great countries in the UK. These convenient flights help families and businesses stay connected. We look forward to Loganair increasing choice on the route, serving the people of Wales and Scotland through Cardiff Wales Airport.”
Luke Lovegrove, CCO of Loganair, said: “It’s extremely rewarding to be celebrating this special milestone with Cardiff Wales Airport. We are proud to operate the only flight linking the Scottish and Welsh capitals, providing vital connectivity between two significant regional cities and supporting leisure and business travel. More than half of customers are travelling for leisure purposes and spend two or three days at their destination, helping to grow visitor numbers for both Scotland and Wales. We look forward to continuing to develop this important route.”
