A Scottish airline has "regrettably" axed and suspended routes amid "current soft market conditions".
Glasgow-based Loganair has cut routes from Inverness to Birmingham and Inverness to Dublin and suspended routes including Dundee to Kirkwall and Aberdeen to Oslo. It also cited costs.
The airline’s limited City of Derry to Liverpool route will also end in the new year as contracted.
A spokesperson for Loganair said: "Despite considerable efforts under way to reduce costs, including those forced upon us by NATS for air traffic control services, the current soft market conditions regrettably mean that a number of our routes have been suspended or have ceased operation.
"Loganair remains fully committed to all airports affected and we continue to work closely with all our partners to safeguard remaining services. Customers will be contacted with alternative options."
The airline added: "Inverness and Birmingham and Inverness and Dublin regrettably will cease operations from 2024. Inverness to Birmingham and Dublin will operate their last flights on 5th January 2024.
"Dundee and Kirkwall and Sumburgh will be suspended between 9th Jan 2024 and 27th Feb 2024 inclusive. Services from Kirkwall and Sumburgh to London Heathrow during this period are also affected by this decision but customers are being contacted with alternatives.
"Aberdeen and Oslo has been suspended from 5th Dec to 29th Mar 2024 inclusive. Flights from Newcastle to Oslo will also be affected by this decision as the flight routes via Aberdeen. Loganair remains on sale for the Aberdeen to Oslo and Newcastle to Oslo route for summer 2024."
