Loganair's Northern Isles hop is it just a BIG Hassle?

Loganair is the main airline for flights in the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, but how does Loganair keep flight in Orkney and Shetland Profitable? Well in this video we are exploring Loganair's Northern Isles Milk Run from Sumburgh airport to Inverness airport Via Kirkwall airport. This milk run provides more profitability due to keeping the aircraft as full as possible between the Scottish islands, while allowing the airline to create a direct connection between the Northern Scottish isles of Orkney and Shetland.

What do you think of this route & what other ways do you think Loganair can keep routes like these Profitable?

I have done this trip a few times both from Aberdeen and from Inverness via Kirkwall. On one of the flights from Aberdeen they closed Sumburg airport and was divert to Scatsta Airport which was nice as to most of the island as we flew into Scatsta but not so as we waited around two hours for the bus to come and pick us up. Lucky as I jump out at Lerwick. Then on another occasion I had to share the flight with a person in handcuffs to Inverness who join the plane in Kirkwall. These were around 10 years ago but still good memories of the flights to and from Sumburgh.

Another cracking video Dom 👍🏻 One day I hope to visit the Orkney and Shetland Islands though coming from NCE it's not the easiest place to reach 😅

We considered taking Loganair from Aberdeen to Lerwick but really wanted to try the Northlink (which we enjoyed thoroughly). We did take a Loganair from Aberdeen to Belfast City (a different kind of island hopping) and gave them 2-thumbs up.

Tried to get a Loganair flight from Birmingham to Kirkwall but it’s more expensive than flying to The Canaries or Cyprus. Needless to say Larnaca here I come.

Enjoyable video, thanks. I enjoy flights on the smaller aircraft - just seems more authentic somehow than the larger craft. Some years ago when BA Cityexpress operated ATR42s between Gatwick and Newcastle I remember a very hairy landing at the latter in strong crosswinds. It’s a shame to see the disappearance of the Saabs, but they’re getting on in years I guess. Always thought they looked exceptionally smart in the Loganair livery.

Lerwick Airport looks larger than I thought it would be. Really wish we had a non-stop from London so we could come visit the islands more easily.

Great Video Dom

[@worldtraveler84]

The inside of that first airport looked like a warehouse

Dom I like you videos but one thing I think you need to master, is the voice over sometimes it sounds too rushed and edited too quick together, better spacing needed in the voice edit only slightly but it will sound better I believe, the into the video camera work is fine. please do not take this the wrong way, as someone who watches a lot of UA-camrs I hope I can help and not be negative, keep of the nice videos! 😃

[@carolinecaiger6717]

I could happily do that trip all day ♥️

[@Timstravels01]

Great stuff Dom. These are lifeline services and the ADS really helps.

[@Cool-aviation-edits]

Thank you so much for doing all these Loganair videos there my favourite can you please do more videos from Dundee airport please what Scottish airport if your favourite?

[@robertanderson1791]

Cracking video mate, a regular flight for me visiting family in Inverness as staying up in Shetland

[@john07973]

Good video - the Terminal at Sumburgh looks a bit OTT for a wee airport, I wonder if there were any now shelved plans to name it Nicola Sturgeon Airport 😉

[@belugast]

ps. I love flying ATRs and Dash8s great machines. 🤩

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your trip.😊

[@robertofraser101]

Enjoyed your right as well scenic bus too airport thanks dom

[@weallmakechoices7456]

Would be good if they added Wick to the route.

[@ross14wpc42]

Loved seeing this video and happy to hear that the Islanders are entitled to discount flights. Very scenic despite the clouds. Keep up the good work 😊
