Scottish Government Takes Loganair Back into Public Ownership
The Scottish government has brought the airline Loganair back into public ownership to ensure its stability. This decision follows the airline being put up for sale in 2022 without finding a suitable buyer. The government's intervention aims to protect vital lifeline air services connecting Scotland's Highlands and Islands. Loganair operates numerous key routes under Public Service Obligation contracts. Ministers have stated that this is a temporary measure to secure the airline's long-term future.
