Loganair celebrate 50th birthday
02.02.12
Loganair launched a year-long celebration to mark the company’s 50 year as ‘Scotland’s Airline’ yesterday. Chairman Scott Grier was joined by Glasgow Airport managing director Amanda McMillan to cut a special cake, and a spectacular water cannon salute was performed by Glasgow Airport’s Fire Department to honour the milestone.
Mr Grier, who led a management buy-out of the company in 1997 and set about rebuilding the operation, hailed the unique achievement of Loganair’s 50 years in the aviation business. He said: ‘No other airline has operated for as long under its original name. During the lifetime of Loganair, as least 50 Scottish-based airlines and aviation companies have come and gone, but we are still here and thriving.’
To commemorate the anniversary the company’s aircraft are carrying a new ‘Serving Scotland for 50 years – 1962 to 2012’ logo.
