Celebrating 50 Years: Loganair Surprises Island Passengers

Loganair is celebrating 50 years of connecting the islands of Barra and Tiree to the mainland.

To mark the occasion, winning passengers on these routes were surprised with complimentary flight vouchers.

Michael Galbraith, Barra Airport manager, said: “This is an incredible milestone for Loganair at our unique airport, where the runway disappears beneath the tide twice a day. The daily Glasgow service is a lifeline for the island, supporting both our community and the growing number of visitors. The strength of our relationship with Loganair over the years has been key to the continued success of this vital link.”

Philip Knowles, Tiree Airport manager, said: “As Loganair celebrates 50 years of serving Tiree, we are proud to recognise the importance of this connection to the mainland. These flights provide an essential service for our island, not just for residents but also for tourism, which is critical to our local economy. We look forward to many more years of working in partnership with Loganair to keep this lifeline thriving.”
