Scottish regional Loganair to strengthen ties with British Airways

Scottish regional airline Loganair is in discussions with British Airways on an expanded codeshare agreement. The operator is about to come to the end of a lengthy franchise agreement with Flybe. It has flown in Flybe’s colours for a decade, but talks on renewing the agreement broke down in 2016 when the two sides were unable to agree on terms. Flybe has since gone on to sign a franchise agreement with another UK regional, Eastern Airways, and fierce competition is expected between the groups. From Sept 1, Loganair will again operate under its traditional colours of a black lower fuselage and red engine cowlings, with a tartan tailfin. Prior to its connection with Flybe, Loganair was a BA franchise operation for 14 years from 1994-2008. <br/>
