Flying start for new Orkney-London route

Loganair has been “encouraged” by early demand for the company’s new one-stop, same-plane service linking Orkney to London.

The new route flew for the first time last Tuesday, marking a piece of isles aviation history.

For the first time ever, passengers are now able to fly from Kirkwall to the UK’s capital with a twice-weekly service taking off.

The three-and-a-half hour service stops in Dundee enroute; however, passengers are not required to leave the plane before landing in London City.
