Product Description
Book Description
This was Iain Hutchison’s first book and it was published by Western Isles Publishing Co Ltd to coincide with the anniversary of the first twenty-five years of Scotland’s oldest independent airline, Loganair. Both Loganair and civil air transport in general have moved on considerably since that anniversary, which perhaps makes The story of Loganair take on new significance in its narrating of how air transport was when island communities still experienced feelings of remoteness, and when air travel took on a more relaxed air.
When Loganair began as an air taxi operator in 1962, Scotland’s scheduled air services were religiously guarded by the state-owned airline British European Airways. However, Loganair gradually found a role in the country lanes of Scotland’s skies, bringing air services to locations that BEA could not serve. Loganair developed new airfields, much as the pioneers of the 1930s had done, and it undertook air ambulance flights from 1967, assuming full responsibility for the Scottish Air Ambulance Service in 1973. In 1969 it began its first international scheduled services – to Norway, and by 1987 it served twenty-nine UK airports, more than any other airline.
Kea Publishing acquired The story of Loganair when the proprietor of Western Isles Publishing took a well-earned retirement.
