Loganair suspends flights between Edinburgh Airport and Norwich amid Covid impact

Passengers face disappointment after it was announced that flights to Edinburgh Airport from Norwich have been mothballed.

The regional airline Loganair took the decision this week due to the number of cancellations they were receiving because of Covid-19.

Until recently all Loganair regular flights were scheduled, but these have now been removed and no departures to Edinburgh can be booked until the end of March.

Passengers were told about the cancellations by the airline. In the email they were told that they would receive a full refund within 14 days.

Loganair is the UK's largest regional airline and has hubs at Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness and Newcastle airports.

It is unclear at this stage if any of the other Loganair flights to and from Edinburgh Airport will be affected.

A spokesperson for Loganair said: “The decision to suspend the route between Norwich and Edinburgh from the February 14 was taken at the end of last week due to passenger booking numbers being below those expected.

“We recognise that Covid restrictions are being lifted, however the current isolation rules unfortunately continue to have an effect on customer confidence to book future travel."

“All affected customers have been notified and will be provided with a refund or an alternative date if required. We apologise to those customers who were booked and hope to welcome them back at a later date.”

Although Norwich airport has not responded when asked if any further flights have been cancelled, Loganair operates flights to Exeter, which currently cannot be booked via the airport's website.
