London to Stornoway air route

For the first time ever, travellers can now fly directly between London and Stornoway on the island of Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

Loganair has introduced a six times a week service from Southend Airport (SEN) to Stornoway (SYY) via Glasgow operated by an Embraer 145 regional jet.  Departing at 08:30 it arrives Lewis 11:10 (journey time 2hr 40min) leaving at 12:50 giving enough time for a short meeting.  The flight forms part of a three times daily SEN to GLA schedule with departure times also at 16:15 and 19:55.  With departures out of Glasgow also at 14:15 and 18:00 a business day can be spent at either end of the route.

Southend points out that customers to the centre of town can enjoy a quick check-in at the airport which is much easier to navigate than its London rivals, arriving on one of five peak time trains per hour from London’s Liverpool Street Station – only 53min away.

The airport ranked seventh out of 24 for flight delays last year, pointing out in a statement that Essex rival Stansted sat at the bottom of the table, with passengers kept waiting on flights for an average of 25min – according to CAA data.

Travellers can connect via Loganair’s Glasgow hub onwards to Orkney and Shetland. Two weeks ago the airline also launched Southend daily services to Aberdeen.
