The European Regional Airline Association (ERA) has named Loganair the 2023 Airline of the Year, in recognition of its “impressive performance” in returning to profitability following the pandemic whilst at the same time improving terms for its staff.
The independent panel of globally acclaimed judges also highlighted Loganair’s progressive approach to the environment, including its first-of-its-kind GreenSkies programme, introduced in 2021 to manage and mitigate the environmental impact of flying through a combination of carbon offsetting, renewables investment and sustainable aviation research.
Jonathan Hinkles, CEO Loganair, said, “It is an incredible honour to be named the ERA Airline of the Year award for 2023, and I’d like to thank our magnificent employees for their extraordinary efforts in recent years. We were one of the very few airlines to continue flying daily throughout the pandemic, providing essential travel to remote communities, air ambulance services for Covid patients, and energy industry charter services that ensured the UK’s lights remained switched on.
“It is also very rewarding to be singled out for our environmental innovation. Developing sustainable aviation is vital for the future of our planet and people, as well as the industry.”
Montserrat Barriga, director general, ERA, added, “With an impressive overall performance during 2022, Loganair has overcome the challenges of the previous two years brought on by the pandemic.
“Simultaneously, it has delivered groundbreaking and meaningful environmental initiatives, supported social and humanitarian causes, and set in place key strategic innovations designed to secure its future. The airline’s attention to detail, clear thinking and decisive actions have led to measurable positive outcomes.”
