Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, has celebrated a milestone achievement for its Edinburgh-Cardiff route.

The one-hour 20-minute service, which is the only direct flight linking the Scottish and Welsh capital cities, is now three years old and has been used by almost 55,000 customers since it launched on 2 August 2021.

The airline marked the anniversary with an online competition for followers to win a pair of free tickets on the route.

The Edinburgh-Cardiff third anniversary comes after Loganair recently celebrated carrying more than one million customers at Edinburgh, where the airline employs 62 people and indirectly supports many more.

Loganair flies up to six times weekly between Edinburgh and Cardiff. Reservations can be made at loganair.co.uk or via travel agents. All Loganair flights include a standard 21kg total luggage allowance (15kg hold and 6kg cabin bags), and advance booking is encouraged to benefit from the best value fares.
