History

Loganair was established on 1 February 1962 as the air taxi service of the Logan Construction Company Ltd, operating a single Piper Aztec from Edinburgh. Almost immediately, it was apparent that there was a demand for scheduled services in addition to the primary role as an air taxi, and as such Loganair's fleet grew. As the network expanded to take in more remote islands and communities, Loganair's scheduled network began to emerge. February 1 is the 32nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ... Piper Aztec The Piper PA-23, named Apache and later Aztec, was the first twin-engine aircraft built by Piper Aircraft. ...

In 1964 Loganair mounted an inter-island scheduled network in Orkney and a similar network in Shetland commenced in 1970, and the strong association with these island communities continues today. Air ambulance services were established in 1967 covering Coll, Colonsay, Oronsay, Mull and Oban. Loganair continued to maintain its relationship with the Scottish Ambulance Service and continued to provide air ambulance cover with dedicated Britten-Norman Islander aircraft at Glasgow, Kirkwall and Lerwick. However, this aspect of the operations ceased on 31 March 2006 when the new contract was awarded to Gama Aviation to provide an improved service using faster, pressurised, King Air 200c aircraft and Eurocopter EC-135 helicopters.

Under the ownership of the Royal Bank of Scotland between 1968 and 1983, the Loganair network, serving the Highlands and Islands, was assuming its now familiar shape. The growth was spurred by the rationalisation program that British Airways commenced in 1975 with the transfer of "thin" routes to Loganair. Grasping the opportunity, Loganair's scheduled network grew, and Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles were served comprehensively from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and mainland routes were now firmly established. In 1979, Loganair launched an air service between Glasgow and Derry, with Northern Ireland becoming the focus of expansion, as the stage was now set for the next major step forward - a hub of business routes.

Firmly established as Scotland's Airline, new horizons were sought, and in 1980 Loganair took over the Belfast to Edinburgh route from British Airways. In 1981, Loganair faced the might of the flag carrier and competed on the Glasgow to Belfast route, stealthily managing to win market share by transferring its operations to Belfast City Airport.

With business traffic representing an ever-increasing proportion of Loganair's annual passenger carryings, Loganair acquired larger aircraft, the Shorts 360 and Fokker Friendship. In September 1983, the British Midland Group took a controlling interest in Loganair, and riding a wave of success and optimism the time came for Loganair to enter the jet market. The BAe 146-200 jet, known as the "Whisper Jet", was at the forefront of short-haul aircraft technology providing a high level of passenger comfort and load-carrying capacity, and two jets were brought into the fleet to expand the growing network to include services to the Channel Islands and mainland Europe.

The fleet continued to grow with the acquisition of BAe Jetstream 31, Jetstream 41, and ATP aircraft, and in the late 1980s Loganair had a comprehensive schedule and charter network. Loganair became the second busiest airline at Manchester, the dominant carrier at Belfast City airport, and a significant player in the development of scheduled services at Southampton. With aircraft utilisation being such a vital factor, Loganair also secured contracts with the Post Office for the night movement of mail and datapost.

However, the promising eighties gave way to the turbulent nineties, and a reorganisation of the British Midland Group activities in 1994 saw the transfer of Loganair's cross-border services and associated aircraft to Manx Airlines (Europe). This consolidation of services led to the formation of a new airline, British Regional Airline (BRA Ltd). July 1994 also saw the significant forging of a relationship between Loganair and British Airways in Scotland, as Loganair became British Airways' second franchise operator, with the residual Scottish internal routes being flown in British Airways livery, but with the same professionalism that typifies the Loganair operation. Whilst still under the ownership of the British Midland Group, a further transfer of the main internal Scottish services took place in 1996.

The route network and operations that were left under the control of Loganair were subject to a management buy-out, led by Scott Grier, OBE in 1997. With one De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter and five Britten Norman Islanders, the company found strength in its origins and its pioneering spirit, and dedicated itself to the provision of air services in Orkney, Shetland and to the West coast of Scotland.

Today

Loganair continues to hold a British Airways franchise, recently extended for a further 5 year period (to 2008). Under this agreement, Loganair's services are operated under British Airways flight codes, with the range BA 8770-8999 being allocated to the airline's services. All Loganair aircraft are presented in full British Airways livery and cabin crew wear the BA uniform. Loganair flights are sold through British Airways and the airline participates in BA's Executive Club and BA Miles programme. Loganair is an affiliate member of Oneworld. The franchise service was removed from Loganair's inter island operations carried out by their Islander fleet within the Orkney and Shetland Islands in 2004.

The airline continues to expand, and in November 2003 it announced it's intention to purchase a tranche of routes from British Airways' Citiexpress subsidiary with effect from March 2004. The seven routes acquired from British Airways Citiexpress were Glasgow - Stornoway; Glasgow - Benbecula; Glasgow - Belfast; Glasgow - Isle of Man; Glasgow - Aberdeen; Aberdeen - Shetland and Edinburgh-Belfast.

Maintenance

Loganair's maintenance is carried out at Glasgow International Airport and Kirkwall. All of the airline's Saab and Twin Otter maintenance is carried out at Loganair's Glasgow hangar. Usually, there will be 1 or 2 Saabs and 1 Twin otter in the hangar. The Twin Otter's require special attention after every day to remove any salt accumulated during a landing at Barra's beach airport. The airline's Britten-Norman Islander maintenance, is carried out at Kirkwall.

Loganair's maintenance has been high praised over the years by manufacturers for its high standard and quality of work carried out at the maintenance base.

Incidents and accidents

• In 1986, a Twin Otter 300 aircraft struck high ground on the Island of Islay in poor weather. The pilots had mistakenly identified the coastal village of Laphroaig as the town of Port Ellen, near Islay's Glenegedale Airport^[2]. There was one fatality. This was the UK's last major CFIT incident^[3]

• In May 1996, a crash on Shetland claimed the life of the pilot and injured a doctor and nurse. The plane involved was a Britten-Norman Islander. Returning to Lerwick after taking an injured oil worker to hospital in Inverness, the aircraft crashed close to Tingwall airstrip, near Lerwick.

• On 27 February 2001, a Shorts 360 (G-BNMT) operating a Royal Mail flight to Belfast, crashed into the Firth of Forth shortly after taking off from Edinburgh at 1730GMT. Both crew members were killed, but there were no passengers on board. A fatal accident inquiry later blamed a build up of slush in the aircraft's engines for the crash. Protective covering had not been fitted to the engine intakes while the aircraft was parked for several hours in heavy snow at Edinburgh.

• On 15 March 2005 a Britten-Norman Islander (G-BOMG) aircraft crashed into the sea while descending toward Campbeltown Airport in western Scotland. The aircraft was operating on an air ambulance flight and was not on a scheduled journey. The one crew member and one passenger (a Paramedic with the Scottish Ambulance Service) both died in the crash.
