LOGANAIR has released its "biggest-ever summer schedule" for services between Glasgow and Donegal in 2024.
The brand-new schedule will begin on April 5 and run up to October and will increase the number of flights from three per week in 2023, to four per week in 2024.
The airline decided to increase the offering due to strong customer demand, as it is the only carrier offering a direct air link between the UK and Donegal.
Chief commercial officer Luke Lovegrove said: "It’s breathtaking, and we are glad the expanded service next summer will give more customers than ever the chance to see this incredible part of Ireland.
“The service will again be operated by the quieter and more comfortable ATR-42 aircraft, and will run on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays."
This decision is set to almost double the upcoming season’s passenger numbers and will boost connectivity between with Ireland.
Managing director at Donegal Airport Eilís Docherty said: “The passenger numbers in July and August 2023 confirm the continuing demand for this route, and we are delighted that Loganair will be increasing the duration and frequency of flights for 2024.
"We look forward to working with Loganair from early April next year to continue to provide direct flights between Donegal and Glasgow.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
