Loganair trials flight delay notification system

Loganair has launched a trial in the Northern Isles to alert customers of delays to scheduled flights.

Passengers can now sign up for emailed notifications of delayed and cancelled flights. In addition, where the first flights south in the morning are delayed due to the late arrival of inbound flights the previous evening, customers will be advised including, where appropriate, any new check-in time.

The airline is looking for feedback from customers and hope the scheme can be fine-tuned before being rolled out across the Loganair network.

Loganair customers can sign up for the alerts at www.loganair.co.uk, after selecting Kirkwall departures on the live flight status update section.

The system, says the airline, will send an email to customers in the event of a delay exceeding one hour or a cancellation.

The two-month trial started yesterday, Wednesday, and feedback can be emailed to flightstatus@loganair.co.uk
