As Orkney gets ready to welcome over 2,000 competitors and officials from across the world as hosts of the International Island Games, organisers have announced Loganair as the official airline partner.

Confirmed as the biggest event Orkney has ever hosted, the UK’s largest regional airline Loganair will step in to bring athletes and supporters alike to the island.

As part of the sponsorship, the airline is proudly offering complimentary travel for key officials to enable the games to take place.

Orkney will host the 20th International Island Games in its landmark 40th year since it first began, joining other host alumni including Bermuda, Gotland, Gibraltar and Guernsey. The Games, taking place from 12th-18th July 2025, will bring together athletes from 24 island groups to compete in 12 sports namely archery, athletics, badminton, cycling, football, golf, gymnastics, lawn bowls, sailing, squash, swimming and triathlon.

Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair, said: “It’s fantastic for Orkney to host such a landmark event for Island communities across the globe and we’re proud to partner with the organisers to play a key role in enabling the games. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to fostering community engagement and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Orkney.”

Orkney 2025 Games Chair, Gordon Deans, said: “In 2025, the Orkney International Island Games will be the largest multi-sports event anywhere in Europe, providing a unique platform to showcase Orkney – from its natural beauty and welcoming people, to its amazing products and future-facing businesses and industries.

“We are delighted that Loganair is announced as the official airline partner of The Games.  They will have an incredibly important part to play by ensuring that our officials are transported to Orkney from across the UK.”

Participants are expected to land in the UK from across the globe and Loganair has a wide range of options to facilitate onward connections to Orkney. The airline offers seven direct routes to Kirkwall Airport, including from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Sumburgh, and London Heathrow.

Flights are expected to go on sale next week, and teams looking to secure their seats should contact the Island Games’ official travel management partner, Nirvana Europe, at the earliest opportunity.

Loganair is also working closely with games organisers and Highlands and Islands Airport’s (HIAL) to explore the possibility of offering additional flights for the games in the coming weeks.
