Loganair appoints new CFO

Loganair, the UK regional airline, has appointed Scott Cunningham as its new chief financial officer.

Cunningham brings extensive experience from senior roles at Clyde Blowers Capital, where he served as chief financial officer for InterBulk Group plc, now Den Hartogh Logistics. He also led Iomart Group plc through the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2022 energy crisis. A chartered accountant since 1995, he specializes in financial strategy and corporate governance.

I am delighted to be joining Loganair as Chief Financial Officer. Throughout my career, I have supported growth and transformation across a variety of businesses. Loganair is unique and plays a critical role in providing vital air-links for communities across the UK and beyond. I’m looking forward to working with Luke and the team and to playing my part in delivering further success for the airline, said Cunningham.

Loganair chief executive Luke Farajallah said he was very pleased to have secured Scott. After an extensive and high-calibre search, we decided that Scott’s extensive experience leading international and private equity-backed businesses would be invaluable as we continue to deliver our strategy. We’re delighted to welcome him to the executive team, and looking forward to him joining over the summer, he said.

The appointment follows the earlier hiring of Farrah Malik as interim CFO after Chris Gemmell’s departure in August 2025. Loganair recently expanded its Jersey network for summer 2026, adding services to Paris CDG, Norwich, East Midlands, and Dublin. The Jersey-Paris route, launching May 31, marks its first scheduled service to France. The airline reported a pre-tax profit of £11 million for the year ended March 31, 2025, up from £6.9 million, due to more stable operations and fewer delays.
