Highland Airways in administration

HIGHLAND AIRWAYS, which can trace its history back to 1991, has gone into administration and ceased flying.  Whilst passengers on its Inverness to Stornoway, Western Isles, route will be able to use an alternative Loganair/Flybe service, those now used to flying between Cardiff and RAF Valley in Anglesey will be faced with a difficult 200-mile plus car journey until a new operator can be found for the PSO (public service obligations) operation.  The Inverness-based airline operated a fleet of 11 aircraft used for scheduled services and charters, the largest a 29 passenger Jetstream 41.  See AERBT – 22 February 2010 www.highlandairways.co.uk
