East Midlands Airport is pleased to welcome Loganair as a new airline, as it launches a new daily route to Jersey from the spring.
The new addition to the airport’s passenger operations will see convenient afternoon departures from both East Midlands Airport and Jersey every day from May 31 this year.
Jersey offers visitors an idyllic island escape, with sweeping golden beaches, sheltered coves and some of the warmest waters in the British Isles providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation or adventure. The island’s renowned gastronomy scene blends fresh local produce with French-inspired flair, from seafood straight off the boat to award‑winning restaurants and charming coastal cafés. Alongside its culinary appeal, Jersey boasts a wide range of leisure activities — from scenic cliff‑top walks and cycling routes to boutique shopping and family attractions — making it an enticing destination for passengers seeking a memorable getaway.
Last year, Loganair was ranked among the top-performing short-haul airlines by Which?, and named the UK’s most punctual airline by the Civil Aviation Authority.
It is the second new airline launching at East Midlands Airport this year, with SunExpress due to start operating twice-weekly flights to Antalya in Türkiye at the end of next month.
The new Loganair services provide a significant boost for passengers travelling from East Midlands Airport, offering a convenient new link to Jersey and expanding the choice of leisure destinations available direct from the airport. Customers can book seats on the new Jersey flights now, with one‑way fares starting from £84.99, including a 21kg baggage allowance.
East Midlands Airport’s Commercial Director Adam Andrews said: “It’s fantastic to welcome a new airline to the airport and provide our customers with more choice. We know that Jersey is a really popular destination with our customers in addition to East Midlands being a fantastic gateway for islanders to access our great region and beyond.
“Loganair is a well-established and successful regional airline and this announcement including links to other destinations shows a commitment to providing great connections to and from Jersey. We look forward to working with them and exploring other opportunities together.”
Ronnie Matheson, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “Strengthening connectivity from Jersey is hugely important to Loganair, and these new routes represent a meaningful step forward for the island. By adding direct services to key UK cities, Dublin, and Paris, we’re giving customers in Jersey more choice, better access, and greater flexibility when travelling for work, leisure, or onward connections.
“This is a particularly exciting milestone for us, and it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to investing in routes that deliver real value for island communities while maintaining the high levels of service and reliability Loganair is known for.”
