We've received a statement from Loganair.

A spokesperson for the company said: "Following a review of our wider network and operational setup, we have taken the difficult decision to close our Southampton operating base at the end of October.

"Southampton–Manchester and Manchester–Exeter services will operate for the final time on Thursday 20 August.

"Customers affected by these changes will be contacted directly and will be offered alternative options where available, or a refund where no suitable alternative exists.

"This demand-led decision is part of a wider strategic update, which sees changes to operating bases and overall network delivery.

"These decisions reflect the same disciplined, decisive approach that has driven previous improvements in Loganair's punctuality and resilience, protecting the long-term future of the airline, our people, and the lifeline connectivity we provide to communities across our network."
