The Wick-based BAe Jetstream 32* aircraft restores vital connectivity to the far north of Scotland and reinstates scheduled services from Wick under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) route awarded to Scotland’s second longest serving operator by The Highland Council.
Air Charter Scotland COO Derek Thomson commented: “We are looking forward to starting this important air service for the people of Caithness. It is a major expansion for our successful on-demand air charter business which has successfully served the all-demanding executive aviation sector for 20 years - managing and operating high value business jets. Our client focused, attention to detail ethos will serve us well as we embrace regular (scheduled) air services. It is an honour to have the opportunity to serve this important lifeline route and we are excited to get started.”
