I heard the fuel concession was due to expire May 2020. There were plans to replace him then. He gave his required notice early, and stopped operations. The Council were caught by surprise, and were unable to get anything organised. A self-service pump was rumoured to be the replacement the Council had arranged for May 2020.
Absolute shambles. Without wishing to get political, Oban is a very important airfield and I'm sure the Scots can sort this out in a week, not months & months. All they need is a fuel bowser to be replaced at certain intervals. I would think that the HIghlands and Islands must be losing a lot of revenue because of this. What does that say about Scottish independence?
