Description

The Highland Council have secured a subsidy to help re-introduce air services to the North of Scotland; Wick to Aberdeen and Wick to Edinburgh. Up to two airlines may service these routes and in collaboration with The Highland Council, the aim is to increase accessibility, desirability and prosperity to the North of Scotland for businesses, travellers and the local community alike.

To that end, there shall be clear communication channels established and regular contract management meetings to help reinforce the collaborated approach.
