  • Loganair will become the seventh airline to adopt Avios as the currency for its Clan 
    loyalty programme in 2025.
  • The airline’s adoption of Avios will see more than 1 million extra seats made available 
    for redemption per year for customers.
  • It joins existing carriers using Avios - British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling, Qatar 
    Airways and Finnair.

9 January 2025 IAG Loyalty and Loganair have announced the Scottish-based airline will 
become the latest partner to adopt Avios for its Clan loyalty programme in 2025, making it 
the seventh airline to join the global loyalty currency.

Loganair is the UK’s largest regional airline and carries over 1.5 million passengers per year 
across nearly 70 routes from its hubs in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and 
Newcastle, as well as operating 5 routes from London Heathrow. It already has a wellestablished codeshare agreement with British Airways, and this latest move will help deepen 
the partnership further. 

The airline’s adoption of Avios will see more than 1 million extra seats made available for 
redemption per year and add 21 new destinations for British Airways Executive Club
members. 

At launch, Loganair will automatically convert Clan members’ existing Clan Points balances 
into Avios, giving them access to a wider range of redemption and conversion options, 
including the ability to transfer their balances between Clan and other loyalty programmes.

Veronica Vicars, Chief Growth Officer at IAG Loyalty, said: “We're thrilled to welcome 
Loganair as the newest member of our Avios family, marking a significant milestone as our 
seventh airline partner. With Loganair's addition, we’re now able to offer customers even 
greater opportunities to earn and redeem Avios across their important domestic network in 
the UK and beyond, providing even more choice and value. This is yet another step towards
achieving our ambition to make Avios the most flexible and widely accepted travel loyalty 
currency globally”

Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair, said: “We are constantly reviewing 
how we can improve our Clan Loganair programme, ensuring that our customers are 
rewarded for flying with us. We are thrilled to announce that in 2025 we will be launching a 
partnership with IAG Loyalty to use Avios as the primary currency for Clan Loganair. This is a 
step change for the programme, bringing significant benefits to existing and new Clan 
members alike. If you haven’t yet signed up, we would encourage you to do so.”

Loganair joins six other airlines that also use Avios as their loyalty currency: British Airways, 
Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling, Qatar Airways and Finnair.
