Scottish airline Loganair has continued its Covid-19 route recovery program by restoring flights between Aberdeen and Oslo.

The service restarted this morning and will operate six days a week from Sunday to Friday, with fares from £79 one-way.

“Much Missed”

Loganair’s Chief Operating Officer, Luke Lovegrove, said: “We know he has been sorely missed by the business community and we are confident he will support growth and strengthen ties between North East Scotland and Norway.

Mark Beveridge, Aberdeen International Airport Operations Manager, said: “We are delighted that Loganair has launched this year-round Oslo route and it was great to see the first aircraft take off from our airport.

“Loganair is a valued airline partner, and we warmly welcome this route which gives our passengers the opportunity to see Norway’s capital and allows visitors to see what our region has to offer.”

The service uses Loganair’s 49-seat Embraer 145 Regional Jet aircraft, with weekday flights leaving Aberdeen at 8.30am and arriving in Oslo at 11.05am local time.

Westbound flights leave Oslo at 11.40am local time and arrive in Aberdeen at 12.20pm.

Sunday flights will depart Aberdeen no later than 1.30pm and leave Oslo at 4.40pm local time, allowing leisure and business travelers to make the most of their weekend.

Energy industry key road

The route is particularly important for the energy sector, which has business interests in both cities.

Three-fifths (60%) of Norway’s total international exports in 2021 came from the Scandinavian country’s oil and gas sector.

Loganair also highlighted Norway’s appeal as a “perfect place” for a fall or winter city break.

The Glasgow-based airline added: “Oslo has countless places to explore, from art and architecture to its captivating history.

“Scottish guests can experience Oslo’s bustling nightlife with its five-star restaurants and nightclubs, or choose to immerse themselves in the culture by visiting the magnificent Oslo Opera House.”

Aberdeen-Oslo is Loganair’s final Norwegian international route this year, following the resumption of flights from Edinburgh to Bergen and Stavanger in June.
