MSP wants Highlanders’ experiences of Loganair before meeting new chief
Highland MSP Jamie Halcro Johnston wants a briefing with local customers before meeting on Monday with Loganair's newly appointed chief executive, Luke Farajallah.
Mr Halco Johnston is keen to hear from his constituents about their experiences with the airline and any concerns they want raised with the new boss.
The MSP said today: “Loganair provides a vital network of services across the Highlands and Islands, linking our communities with mainland Scotland, the central belt and beyond.
“However, while many people will have had positive experiences with Loganair, I know there has been disruption to some services, with late changes or cancellations causing issues for individuals and local businesses.
“This has also had an impact on organisations like our local health boards, an issue both NHS Orkney and NHS Shetland raised with me when we met earlier in the year, with cancellations and delays meaning hospital appointments are missed and need rearranging.
“I understand that Loganair recognise some of these concerns and are working to increase the resilience of key routes, and I hope to hear more on this from Mr Farajallah.”
He will also be highlighting the experiences of local people whose journeys do not go as planned, and making clear the impact this can have on them, local businesses and our public services.
“I would welcome any thoughts or experiences folk have, and they can be emailed to me at jamie.halcrojohnston.msp@parliament.scot or sent through his website at jamiehalcrojohnston@org.uk”.
