Loch Lomond Seaplanes Shuts Down Mysteriously after 20 years

Loch Lomond Seaplanes ceased trading without warning on April 11, 2025, leaving ticket holders in limbo with no refund details. With social media accounts disabled and phone lines disconnected, the closure raises questions about the future of the company and the impact on regional tourism.

Shock Shutdown

After nearly two decades of service, Loch Lomond Seaplanes (LLS) has suddenly cancelled all flights with a message to confirm on their website that reads: “Please be advised that Loch Lomond Seaplanes has ceased trading.” For disgruntled ticket holders, they must wait for “someone to be in touch” regarding their refund.

This comes just weeks after Norwegian aerospace company, Elfly, announced an exciting collaboration with LLS to bring two nine-seat zero emission seaplanes to the Scottish tourist company’s roster, to join their Cessna Caravan aircraft.

Elfly CEO, Eric Luthin, confirmed the deal by stating “this is a terrific partnership with huge potential” and that with this deal “the future of regional aviation in the UK is bright”. The shock shutdown of LLS coming so soon after this lucrative news has only raised eyebrows further and provides more questions than answers.

Both the aviation industry and passengers alike will be watching closely to see how the future unfolds for LLS, but for now Scotland’s exciting and growing levels of tourism has a lost a service it will sorely miss.
