Loganair has secured slots at London Heathrow airport in readiness for a new service to the Isle of Man.
The Scottish regional airline was understood to be in talks with the island’s government, which is considering whether the taxpayer should foot the bill for daily flights to Britain’s biggest airport until the border reopens.
A spokesman for Loganair told the Manx Independent: ’Loganair has been able to secure slots at Heathrow to reinstate services between the Isle of Man and London Heathrow.
’It remains engaged in discussions with the Isle of Man Government, which is supporting the island’s air services through the period of reduced travel demand as borders remain closed for general travel, about plans to launch the service.’
This week’s Examiner reported that speculation about Heathrow was revived after people said they were unable to book flights to London City airport in December on the Loganair website.
UK Aviation News reported that if approved the service to Heathrow is expected to begin soon.
So far they’ve only got ‘slots’ even though there not technically for the W20/21 period. S21 remains at nil currently
