Loganair has also launched a Newcastle to Oslo via Aberdeen route, where passengers boarding at Newcastle can stay on the plane until disembarkation in Norway.

Back by popular demand is also the Aberdeen to Southampton flight operating via Newcastle, and customers will not need to leave the aircraft on the one-stop service.

The announced plans affecting Aberdeen will take place from March 2023.

Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “This bumper schedule for 2023 underlines our commitment to Newcastle with our biggest ever programme for the city, offering customers more choice of destinations, frequency and capacity than ever before.

“It has been a very positive year for Loganair at Newcastle, and we are excited to see that success continue into 2023.”
