Scottish airline Loganair reunited a girl and her lost teddy bear after she left it Edinburgh airport.

Four-year old Summer from Orkney forgot to put her teddy back in her bag when going through security.

When the family realised that the bear was missing, Mum Donna posted a plea on Facebook to find it.

Loganair cabin crew member, Kirsty Walter, spotted the post on Facebook and asked her colleagues to look for the bear in lost property.

Fortunately they found the teddy and it was then flown over 200 miles to be reunited with Summer in Kirkwall.

On its flight home, the bear was given its own seat and was given a tour of the flight deck.

Miss Walter said: “It’s always a shame to see a little girl who has lost her best friend, especially when travelling through Scotland’s biggest airport and there was a real risk it might be gone forever.

“As soon as I spotted the plea on social media I thought it would be easy for the airline to try and help. It was a heart-warming moment to be there for Summer and Teddy’s reunion

“It definitely brought a little tear to my eye and was a lovely way to end the week. It’s up there with one of the more memorable flights I’ve been on and shows the airline’s commitment to the communities we serve.”
