Loganair returns to profit in first full year of flying solo
The Ivy Buchanan Street
Glasgow’s Style Mile welcomes The Ivy Buchanan Street
THE Ivy Buchanan Street recently welcomed Glasgow’s social scene for a sneak peek of the restaurant just ahead of its opening.
One the night, the Red Hot Chilli
Pipers celebrated the latest addition to the city's Style Mile with their rendition of Wake Me Up by Avicii to the delight of more than 400 guests, while a live DJ performed upstairs on the first floor. Guests including Judy Murray,
Amy MacDonald and Richard Foster – alongside the who’s who of the Glasgow foodie scene – enjoyed
delicious canapés and signature cocktails, including a Pictish Spritz and refreshing Passion Fruit Bellini. The Ivy Buchanan Street offers sophisticated yet relaxed all-day dining in the heart of Glasgow. Located at 106 Buchanan Street and set across two floors, the brasserie offers Glaswegians and visitors to the city striking interiors, all-encompassing menus and friendly service from sunrise to late evening, accommodating approximately 222 guests.
LOGANAIR has reported a pre-tax profit of £1.01million for the 12 months ended 31 March 2019 – its first full year of operation under its own brand as Scotland's Airline. There was record turnover of £119.85m, up 8.3 per cent on the previous year's figure of £110.65m. The pre-tax profit is reported after non-recurring costs of £3.07m related to introducing Embraer jet aircraft to the fleet, which expanded to 43 aircraft during the first quarter of this year. With this expansion, Loganair has become the UK’s fifth largest airline by number of flights operated. It is a welcome return to the black
after the previous year's loss, which reflected the cost of creating an airline from scratch due to the break-up of Loganair’s franchise agreement with Flybe and subsequent damaging and unsustainable competition on key routes from its previous partner. In October 2018, Loganair's
remarkable progress saw it win regional aviation’s highest accolade – the European Regional Airline Association's award for Airline of the Year, voted for by a panel of industry experts. In February 2019, fellow UK regional airline bmi Regional ceased trading, and Loganair's operation grew by recruiting 140 of its pilots, cabin crew and engineers – as well as expanding the fleet by acquiring many of its Embraer aircraft. The increased range of the jets facilitated growth further afield for Loganair, with new services from Scotland to Germany, Norway and Denmark and from Newcastle to Belgium and Norway being launched.
