Question
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to introduce Twin Otter aircraft for new routes, including between (a) Oban and Barra and (b) Glasgow and Barra via Oban.
Answer
We have significantly improved the specification on the Glasgow to Campbeltown, Tiree and Barra air services. The Twin Otter aircraft owned by Highlands and Islands Airports will be fully utilised on these services and will not be available for new routes.
