Glasgow-based Loganair has appointed Scott Cunningham as Chief Financial Officer. He joins with more than 25 years of experience in finance, previously holding senior positions at InterBulk Group, Iomart Group and across companies in the Clyde Blowers portfolio.

Advantage Travel Partnership has unveiled Baroness Manningham-Buller LG, DCB, FRS – formerly the head of the UK’s Security Service and ex-Chair of the Wellcome Trust – as the keynote speaker at the 2026 Advantage Conference in Madrid from May 11 to 14.

Veezu has expanded into Luton, Dunstable and the surrounding areas following the acquisition of Go Cars. The UK’s largest and fastest-growing private hire technology business is aiming to strengthen local transport networks outside London and deliver smarter, more connected services across the region. The acquisition builds on Veezu’s presence across Cambridgeshire and the east of England. Go Cars operates a fleet of more than 600 vehicles and serves one of the country’s fastest-moving commuter populations. The Veezu app offers a smart travel experience, including real-time vehicle tracking, pre-booking and multiple payment options.

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club has a limited-time Tier Point promotion for new and existing members, designed to fast-track leisure travellers to Silver Status. Members will receive 300 bonus Tier Points, as the lead booker, when they spend £4,000 or more on a qualifying Virgin Atlantic Holidays booking between April 7 and 20 2026. That’s enough for the lead booker to attain Silver Status when combined with Flying Club’s core benefit of double Tier Points on Virgin Atlantic flights booked with a Virgin Atlantic Holiday of three nights or more.
