This week, we bring you another edition of Airplane Art featuring the Loganair ATR72-600 as it gracefully ascends from Dublin Airport, heading back to its home territory in the United Kingdom.
Loganair operates a commendable fleet, boasting nine ATR72-600s alongside other aircraft like the ATR42-500, ATR42-600, Britten-Norman Islander, several de Havilland Canada Twin Otters, and the Embraer ERJ-145. These airplanes form the backbone of the airline’s regional service network, connecting various points across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.
The specific aircraft captured, registered as G-LMTC, made its debut with Airlinar back in July 2015, placing its age at around nine and a half years as of the latest flight. After transitioning to the larger Air France Hop fleet in April 2016, this aircraft faced storage beginning February 2020. Loganair welcomed G-LMTC to its ranks two years later, in January 2022, all the time under the ownership of Norwegian Air Capital.
During the recent festive period, Loganair’s ATR72-600 has been quite active, with flights originating from its main base at Aberdeen to destinations including Liverpool, Southampton, Dublin, and Sumburgh. It’s this connectivity and regional service expansion that's integral to Loganair's operations.
Photographers capturing the beauty of aviation and the dynamic nature of air travel often highlight these moments. This shot, marked June 2023, is the result of careful planning and impressive equipment, taken with the Canon EOS R and utilizing the Canon EF 100-400mm lens paired with appropriate settings for optimal clarity.
The views from the perimeter road at Dublin Airport offer not just excellent prospects for photographers but also a glimpse of the ever-busy aviation environment. Each image tells its own story, whether it be of passenger journeys or the logistical ballet of aircraft coming and going.
