Highland Airways expects business demands for flights

Highland Airways has launched a new air charter service from Edinburgh.

The Inverness based airline expects demand for its Jetstream 41 to come from the business sector as well as sports teams and supporters.
 

Nicolas van der Meer, Business Development Manager, said: “ “With Edinburgh’s growing status as a financial and administrative capital we expect demand to be high."

BAA Scotland Business Development Manager, Paul White, welcomed the move, "The growth of private air charter at Edinburgh is good news for our passengers, offering an even wider choice and greater flexibility when it comes to air travel to and from the Capital.

"Highland Airways’ new service at Edinburgh is a welcome addition, and we look forward to working with the airline to ensure its success.”
 
Highland Airways, which is headquartered in Inverness with bases in Aberdeen, Lancashire, Wales and the Western Isles, already has three smaller Jetstream 31 based outside of Scotland.

These aircraft augment their weekday work with leisure and sports related charters at the weekend.
