Exciting news for those travelling to and from Islay by air. Yesterday Loganair announced that starting next year, on the 31st of March 2019, they will operate a direct link between Edinburgh and Islay. This in addition to the current direct link between Glasgow and Islay. It's in fact the first link between Edinburgh and one of the Hebridean islands.

A 34 seat aircraft, likely a Saab 340, will fly up to 7 days weekly from Edinburgh to Islay and back, with a flight time of 45 minutes. The plane is scheduled to leave Edinburgh around noon and leaves Islay Airport around 2pm. This is not a year round link as it only operates from the 31st of March to the 26th of October. At the time of writing a single journey started at around £80.

You can book your Edinburgh to Islay flight on the Logain Air website: www.loganair.co.uk where you can also book flights from Glasgow to Islay.
