Loganair has opened applications for its 2026 GreenSkies Community Fund, offering support to local projects focused on sustainability across the UK.
The regional airline confirmed that applications are now open and will close on 7 May, as the scheme enters its fifth year of backing community led environmental work.
Since launching in 2021, the fund has distributed more than £100,000 to 24 projects, supporting initiatives that reduce carbon impact and strengthen local environments.
The programme is open to charities, community groups and small businesses looking to deliver practical sustainability projects.
Previous awards highlight the range of work supported, from renewable energy and low emission transport to habitat restoration and community growing spaces.
Projects funded last year included a polytunnel installation in Aberdeen supporting young people with learning disabilities, a solar generator in Derry to power renewable energy workshops, and woodland restoration in East Lothian following ash disease.
In the Highlands, a Portree based project received funding to purchase low impact tools for peatland restoration, demonstrating the fund’s relevance to rural communities.
The variety of projects reflects a wider aim to support local solutions that deliver lasting environmental benefits.
Rebecca Borresen said:
“Through our GreenSkies Community Fund, we’re proud to support the organisations and individuals taking practical steps to make their communities more sustainable.
“From restoring natural habitats to investing in renewable energy and low-emission transport, the projects we’ve funded so far show how local action can make a real difference.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the innovative ideas that come forward this year and continuing to support initiatives that help reduce environmental impact while delivering lasting benefits for communities across the UK.”
The fund forms part of Loganair’s broader environmental strategy, which includes carbon offsetting, investment in sustainable aviation and a commitment to reaching net zero by 2040.
Funding for the scheme comes from a small carbon offset charge applied to flights, which is reinvested into accredited environmental projects and community initiatives.
With applications now open, organisations across the Highlands and beyond are being encouraged to bring forward ideas that can make a tangible difference.
