Another new air service to Scotland has been announced.

Loganair will fly between Edinburgh and Ronaldsway.

The Isle of Man Examiner this week reported that that Eastern Airways is to start a service to Glasgow.

Loganair’s service will start on Friday, May 26, operating up to four flights each week throughout the summer on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Friday and Monday services will continue into the winter season, with fares starting from £54.99 including a free-of-charge 20kg checked baggage allowance.

Loganair will operate under its franchise agreement with Flybe – with bookings taken Flybe’s website – until August 31.

From September 1, the airline will be flying in its own right and the new route is currently bookable via its reservations system at www.loganair.co.uk and call centre on 0344 800 2855.

The new Edinburgh to Ronaldsway service follows the recent closure of Manx-based ticket provider Citywing, reducing connections between the Isle of Man and Scotland.

Four years ago Flybe dropped a service between the Scottish capital and the island.

Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair’s managing director, said: ‘We’re thrilled to be returning to the Isle of Man after an absence of nearly four years. Our new Edinburgh service will provide much-needed weekend flights between Scotland and the island.’
