What is an Interline and Codeshare Partner?
Loganair can facilitate more efficient and seamless connectivity to destinations around the world thanks to its well established interline and codeshare partners. The partnership with Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, first launched in 2018. The benefits of utilising Loganair’s partner network include protection in case of delay and through-checked baggage to the final destination.

Sidney Cunningham said:
“I always enjoy flying with Loganair and Emirates, and this has been quite a surprise. I am a frequent traveller and have visited everywhere from Bangkok to Glasgow, and the Loganair partnership with Emirates is vital for connecting communities like Isle of Man, to the rest of the world.”
Luke Lovegrove, Loganair’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We are proud to connect communities both across the UK and internationally, with a wide range of regional routes and partnerships with airlines, such as Emirates. We hope that Sidney enjoys his trip to Dubai, and we offer our congratulations on being our 30,000th passenger flying from Isle of Man to Birmingham.”

The 30,000th Isle of Man-Birmingham passenger of this financial year is a wonderful milestone.

Congratulations, Loganair, and here’s to many more moments like this in future.”
