Here are some shots of the Loganair fleet at work in and out of Glasgow. The ATP is wet leased from BA Citiexpress, note the colour on the prop hub and the Islander has been taken out of BA franchise livery…

It’s a damn sight easier than walking it, though. 😉
Well you could certainly try walking… 😮

I once read that the flight between Westray and Papa Westray is scheduled to take two minutes but there is a pilot who made it into the Guinness Book of World Records when he managed to fly the sector in just 58 seconds. Bejeezus!! 😮

Nice shots.
I recently searched the British Airways website for flights for London Heathrow to Barra via Glasgow with British Airways/Loganair and the price was about £210 return.
I can’t afford Saint Maarten, so this may be a much better alternative!

I love those Twotters.
Islanders are without a BA livery cos the routes they perform are no longer under franchise with BA eg the shortest passenger sectior in the world Westray to Papa Westray.

Very nice shots!
Is this loganair a Glasgow based airline? Never heard of them.
GLA based, they serve the Scottish Highlands and Islands generally as well as Ireland, the Islanders operate for the Scottish Air Ambulance and the one in the picture had just taken a patient on board from a nearby hospital.
They used to fly much further afield with a larger fleet including Bae 146s, Fokker F27s, Trislanders Banderiantes , Shorts 330s/360s, Jetstreams etc.
Since being taken over by the British Midland group, then merged into BA Regional and now independent again as a BA franchise, they’ve become a relatively small operation. (for now)
I understand the purchase of Saab 2000’s or ATR’s may be on the cards at some point soon.

They are a British Airways franchise, the same as GB Airways and British Mediterranean.
