Loganair will end its Dundee to Heathrow service on Friday 23 October, the airline confirmed on 14 August 2026, closing a route that has linked the Scottish city to London under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) since 2014.
The regional carrier, the UK's largest, said the contract had become "financially unsustainable" after a review of the route's long-term viability. Loganair served notice earlier this year to the stakeholder group behind the PSO, which is funded by Dundee City Council together with the Scottish and UK governments. The airline said it had explored alternative options but could not find a viable way forward, and will support its Dundee-based staff in finding other roles.
The closure means Loganair will shut its Dundee operating base entirely. As well as ending the daily link to Heathrow, it affects the same-plane onward connections that currently run twice a week from Dundee via Heathrow to Kirkwall in Orkney and Sumburgh in Shetland.
The route currently operates Sunday to Friday, with two flights on weekdays and one on Sundays. Loganair had originally said the service would stop in September, but pushed the end date back to 23 October.
Loganair remains the only commercial airline based at Dundee Airport. The carrier continues to fly to Heathrow from City of Derry Airport in Northern Ireland and from the Isle of Man, and has separately confirmed it is withdrawing its operating base at Southampton Airport.
