A spokesperson for the airport said: “It is disappointing to see Loganair pull routes from various UK airports, including Newcastle. We’d like to thank all of those who have used the route over the years and, as we continue to develop our route offer, we are examining opportunities for alternative airlines to provide this route. In the meantime, we have just kicked off our 2024 summer season and – despite this news – we are expecting the biggest and best year since the airport was brought back into public ownership. Our new Dalaman route is proving hugely popular, along with our mainstays of Corfu, Faro and Majorca. We are also continuing to deliver on our plan to return the airport to profitability which includes major progress on the development of our £200million southside Business Park, the creation of new hangar space and attracting new companies such as Airbourne Colours and new air freight service from FedEx."
Interesting statement - the usual dig at Newcastle, no mention of 'mainstay' Alicante, no mention of Willis
