► Pilots criticise Loganair's "appalling" service
The Civil Aviation Authority, the body which regulates commercial airlines has confirmed Loganair is European safety requirements.
Recently, the company's captains raised concerns through the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa), claiming planes suffered recurring faults or were returned from the hanger "unserviceable."
This included some aircraft retaining defects which could affect flight safety, it is said.
Northern Isles' politicians, Alistair Carmichael MP, Tavish Scott MSP and Liam McArthur MSP, met with CAA senior managers over the issue.
In a joint statement, the three politicians said: "The Civil Aviation Authority clarified to us that Loganair’s services meet European safety requirements.
"They further confirmed that the CAA remains in close contact with all commercial airlines, including Loganair, on a continual basis to provide safety oversight and advice.
“Loganair has acknowledged that improving reliability of their services is an absolute priority. This will, of course, require action on a number of fronts."
