As Eastern Airways cancels services a Loganair spokesperson said:

“Following widespread speculation concerning Eastern Airways operations, we’re stepping in to support passengers in any way we can.  

“As part of our commitment to keeping the islands connected, we’re introducing a special rescue fare on our Aberdeen/Kirkwall and Aberdeen/Sumburgh routes to assist affected Eastern Airways customers in reaching their destinations with minimal disruption.

“More information on how to book can be found here: Rescue Fares

“We are also here to support affected Eastern Airways team members in any way we can.  You can reach out to the Loganair Recruitment Team via email – crewrecruitment@loganair.co.uk

“As part of the wider aviation community, we stand in solidarity with our colleagues, customers, and partners affected, and we extend our empathy and support.”

The rescue fare is £80 one way when departing from Kirkwall or Sumburgh, and is £87 one way when departing from Aberdeen (as this includes the additional £7 APD charge).

This is designed to assist affected Eastern Airways customers in reaching their destinations with minimal disruption. This rescue fare is eligible for ADS discount.
