Question
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of how uncertainty regarding the future of Wick John O'Groats Airport could impact on the Caithness and Sutherland area.
Answer
We have received the report ‘Public Service Obligation Air Services for Wick John O’Groats Airport: Business Case’ from the Caithness Chamber of Commerce which includes an assessment of the impact of the loss of scheduled air services from Wick John O’Groats Airport on the local economy. We have not carried out a separate assessment.
