A regional airline offering flights from Norwich is boosting its international links through partnerships with major carriers.

Loganair has signed partnerships with Air France, KLM and Thomas Cook Airlines and has deals with four more international airlines – including Emirates – in the pipeline.

Known as 'interline agreements', the partnerships enable Loganair customers to use the same tickets and only check baggage once where flights connect at Norwich, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.

The partnership with Thomas Cook Airlines provides long-haul connections from Norwich and Inverness via Manchester to destinations including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Orlando and Las Vegas on a single ticket.

The Scottish airline is the largest operator at Norwich Airport with up to seven flight departures every weekday.
