SCOTTISH airline Loganair is reportedly expected to scrap two European routes next year.

The Glasgow-based aviation firm is in talks over a total of five routes flying from Newcastle Airport, with only three of them set to be retained, the Herald has reported

According to the Herald, Loganair is expected to announce the end of direct flights from Newcastle to two cities in Norway, Bergen and Stavanger, around the start of 2026. 

Despite the routes expected to be axed, Scottish holidaymakers would still be able to fly to Bergen with flights still available on the Loganair network via Edinburgh and Sumburgh.

The three other routes from Newcastle Airport, to Southampton, Exeter and Newquay will reportedly be unaffected and as they “remain very popular”.

Loganair has been approached for comment.
