Loganair sees record passenger growth for Glasgow route from Leeds Bradford

Flights between Leeds Bradford Airport and Glasgow have taken off, as the new journey has recently become the fastest growing route on Loganair’s domestic network.

The route, is operated by Loganair – and bookable via Flybe, is also one of LBA’s fastest growing services.

With road or rail journey times from Leeds to Glasgow taking around four hours, the flight time of just over an hour is proving popular amongst both business and leisure travellers.

Apart from connecting Yorkshire with Glasgow, this twice daily weekday service also offers a range of onward connections on the Loganair network across Scotland including the Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands and the outer Hebrides.

In addition, lower fares recently introduced on the Glasgow route start from £78.99 (including taxes).

Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair’s managing director, said: “We’re delighted with the response to our new, lower fares on the Leeds Bradford Airport - Glasgow route, which has become the fastest growing route in the Loganair network and the fastest growing route at Leeds Bradford Airport.

“Our twice-daily service is ideal for business travel, and increasing numbers of customers are discovering that flying is a much more convenient option than a long journey by road or rail.

“We’re looking forward to building on this success with further expansion of our services linking Scotland and West Yorkshire in the near future.”

Tony Hallwood, aviation development director at Leeds Bradford Airport, added: “It is not surprising that demand on the Leeds Bradford to Glasgow route is taking off – with lower fares and a flying time of only 65 minutes there is no quicker or more relaxing way to Scotland.”
