An airline has announced an expanded schedule to Donegal for next summer.

Loganair has revealed its biggest-ever summer schedule for services between Glasgow Airport and the Irish town.

Offering the only direct air link between the UK and Donegal, Loganair have responded to overwhelming customer demand by increasing flights.

Running from April to October, flights will increase from 2023’s schedule of three per week to four per week for 2024.

The move will almost double passenger numbers for the upcoming season, further boosting connectivity between the UK and Northwest Ireland.

The new schedule will "take off" on April 5, 2024.

Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: "The popularity of this route in summer 2023 has been good, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has visited Donegal.

"It’s breathtaking, and we are glad the expanded service next summer will give more customers than ever the chance to see this incredible part of Ireland.

“Equally, we hope our customers in Ireland will enjoy the added opportunities to travel to Glasgow and experience everything that our vibrant home city has to offer.”

The service will again be operated by the quieter and more comfortable ATR-42 aircraft, and will run on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Eilís Docherty, managing director at Donegal Airport, added: “The passenger numbers in July and August 2023 confirm the continuing demand for this route, and we are delighted that Loganair will be increasing the duration and frequency of flights for 2024.

"We look forward to working with Loganair from early April next year to continue to provide direct flights between Donegal and Glasgow.”

All fares include a 15kg luggage allowance, inflight refreshments, discounts for children aged 11 and under, and a mandatory carbon offset charge as part of the airline's innovative GreenSkies sustainability programme.
