Loganair re-establish Guernsey connection to Scottish capital

Loganair launches direct service between Edinburgh and Guernsey in response to high summer demand

29 November 2024

The new service will be the airline’s first to Guernsey in six years, reestablishing Logainair’s connection to Guernsey and increasing the number of services to the Scottish capital meaning more options and flexibility for people travelling in both directions.

The weekly service will operate on Saturdays between 24 May and 13 September, departing Edinburgh at 16.10 and arriving in Guernsey at 18:10. The return service takes off at 18:40, landing in Edinburgh at 20:45.

The announcement is being welcomed by the Committee for Economic Development which has responsibility for Guernsey’s air policy framework. 

Deputy Neil Inder, President of the Committee said:

“Having secured our sea connectivity for 2025 and beyond, the new addition of Loganair to the airlines providing regular services next year is a further, welcome development for our overall connectivity.  There are business, holiday, and - for many people - friend and family connections with Edinburgh, which will benefit from the choice and flexibility provided by the additional services.

"As people will be aware, we are reviewing our air policy framework to look at how it can continue to evolve to best meet our needs in the future, but this announcement shows that under our existing policy there is every opportunity for new carriers to establish new services to the island.  In that regard, Guernsey is very much open for business.”

The route will provide direct connectivity for Scottish passengers looking to holiday in Guernsey, and on the return side, passengers from Guernsey will have access to direct flights to Scotland’s bustling capital city, as well as the chance to make the most of onward connections across Scotland or to connect on another Loganair service to the Highlands and Islands.

Lead in fares start at just £89.99 and are inclusive of generous luggage allowances of up to 21kg, spread between on-board and cabin bags. The service is operated by a 72-seater ATR-72, Loganair’s most sustainable aircraft.

Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer, said: “We are committed to enhancing connectivity for those travelling throughout the year – whether for business, leisure or keeping connected with loved ones – and we know that our passengers are always looking for new destinations to explore over summer months. We are thrilled that we’ve been able to launch a new direct service between Scotland’s capital city and the beautiful island of Guernsey.”

Kate Sherry, Chief Commercial Officer (Aero) at Edinburgh Airport, said: "It’s fantastic to see Loganair launching a new Edinburgh to Guernsey route for summer 2025, offering passengers more choice and enhancing seamless connectivity between Scotland’s capital and the stunning Channel Islands.

"This new service makes travelling between these two incredible destinations even easier, and we’ll enjoy seeing more of the iconic Loganair tartan tail fin at Edinburgh Airport—what’s not to love?"

James Underwood, Head of Commercial for Guernsey Ports, said "Guernsey Ports is pleased to be able to welcome Loganair back to the Island in 2025 after a 6 year hiatus, and looks forward to re-establishing a valued relationship with the airline.  The new weekend service will add options and flexibility for Islanders heading to Scotland and beyond, and provide additional opportunities for visitors looking to travel to Guernsey for business or leisure next Summer.  We look forward to a successful season together."
