Loganair: It’s Not Our Fault
Nine flights between Ronaldsway and Heathrow have been axed.
Loganair has said it is Heathrow Airport and not the airline that is behind the cancellation of flights in the run up to Christmas.
Islanders have been affected by the cancellations of nine flights between Ronaldsway and Heathrow.
Gef contacted the airline after comments from readers saying that it had cancelled flights from Heathrow and seemingly given different reasons to various passengers for this.
A spokesperson for Loganair said: ‘As a result of restrictions on flights at London Heathrow, we are unable to operate nine of our planned Isle of Man-London Heathrow services during the travel period 15-23 December. This week, we have offered affected customers alternative flights on our Isle of Man-London City route, and either a free date change or the option of a full refund.
‘We recognise how very disappointing this will be for our customers, especially at this time of year. We apologise for the short notice, Loganair had been working hard to mitigate the effect on our flying program but have been unable to reverse the decision imposed by London Heathrow Airport.’
Heathrow had said it wouldn’t be imposing limits on lights this Christmas following talks with airlines and said that even with strikes planned in the coming weeks, most flights should operate as planned.
