Wales gains new Scottish air link

Monday, 03 Feb, 2009 0

A Cardiff to Aberdeen service is to be started by Scottish carrier Loganair.

Daily flights will operate except on Saturdays from April 19 in conjunction with franchise partner Flybe.

Prices start at £44.99 one-way including all taxes, fees and charges.   

Passengers flying from Cardiff will be able to connect through to other such as Sumburgh in the Shetland Islands.

Loganair chief executive David Harrison said: “Our research has identified strong demand for these flights.

“We’re confident that our competitive fares will prove highly attractive to both business and leisure travellers who have, up to now, been forced to make difficult journeys at high prices to travel between the two cities.”

Steve Hodgetts, director of business development at Cardiff International Airport, said: “We’d like to thank all those business travellers who completed our ‘you would if you could’ travel survey  last year as the evidence showing Aberdeen as the most travelled to destination not served from the capital helped convince Loganair to launch this new service.

“I would urge more business travellers to visit the site – www.youwouldifyoucould.co.uk – and complete the two minute survey, which could help substantially reduce journey time to other destinations in the future and also open the region to a number of new business opportunities.“
