Loganair has bolstered its route network with the addition of a one stop service between Teesside International and Esbjerg Airport – on sale from today (Monday, November 1).
Announced as a welcomed boost for many including employees of the oil and gas industry, travellers can board in Teesside, remain on the aircraft for its short stop in Aberdeen and continue their journey to Esbjerg, Denmark without connecting through busier European hubs.
Thanks to the schedule updates on Loganair’s existing Esbjerg to Aberdeen return leg route, travellers can benefit from the quick customs operation in Aberdeen compared to busier alternatives in larger airports.
Commencing from Monday, November 8, the service will operate twice weekly during the winter season on Mondays and Wednesdays with fares starting from £99.99 one way. Doubling to four times a week in the summer additional flights will be added on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Kay Ryan, Loganair’s chief commercial Officer, said: “We already operate a direct service from Aberdeen to Esbjerg on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so it made sense to alter timings where we could to allow this easy connection for passengers south of the border.
“As the UK’s largest regional airline, strengthening our relationships and our customers’ connections with regional airports is so important. Passengers can enjoy multiple benefits from a Scottish stop over compared to a European connection flight and we hope this announcement will be a welcomed one, particularly by the business community.”
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, said: ”This is another major boost for local businesses looking to expand to new markets, opening up even more opportunities for our great companies across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool, creating more good-quality, well-paid jobs for local people. It’s also another new connection for Teesside and a further commitment from the UK’s largest regional airline, Loganair.
“Since buying our airport and saving it from closure our airport has gone from strength to strength and I look forward to us welcoming even more new routes over the coming months as we look to grow our links further.”
