Scots carrier Loganair lands seven BA routes

[SN30952]

Scottish airline group Loganair has taken over seven routes operated by national carrier British Airways.
By securing the seven routes - including Edinburgh to Belfast - from BA subsidiary British Airways CitiExpress, Loganair said passenger numbers would also be boosted from current levels of 315,000 to about 585,000.
Loganair, which was founded in 1962, is Scotland?s largest internal flights carrier, operating 33 routes within the mainland and to the Western and Northern Isles.
The agreement, which will see Loganair lease four aircraft from BA, as well as utilising an additional aircraft, also extends the group?s external network.
New external routes will take Loganair to Belfast and the Isle of Man, adding to external routes which already include Derry and Cork, in the Republic of Ireland, and Manchester. The seven routes the company has acquired are: Glasgow to Stornoway, Benbecula, Belfast, the Isle of Man and Aberdeen; Aberdeen to Shetland, and Edinburgh to Belfast.

PS Can somebody tell what kind of cockpit we see in the picture?

Hi SN30952,

I must admit this particular cockpit looks like the cab of an AEC Routemaster, an old British double-decker
But I'm going fftopic:

I think the plane is a Shorts 360
