Future of Wick Air Routes

  • Submitted by: David Stewart, Highlands and Islands, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 11 September 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22703
  • Current status: Has not yet achieved cross-party support

That the Parliament acknowledges what it sees as the serious threat to the connectivity and development of the Caithness and Sutherland area with the collapse of air routes from Wick John O'Groats Airport to Aberdeen and Edinburgh; notes that the Scottish Government has still to decide on Caithness Chamber of Commerce’s business case for a Public Service Obligation on those routes, and that it has been talking to the UK Government and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, but notes with concern that no update has been provided on the way forward since Eastern Airways and Loganair withdrew their services, leaving the area with no scheduled services.
