Local politicians and business groups have been calling for routes to Aberdeen and Edinburgh to be covered by PSOs by the Scottish Government, but I've not seen anything to indicate the SG's view on these requests.
The FBO, Far North Aviation, has a steady stream of ferry flights stopping for fuel, though I don't know if that traffic alone would be sufficient to maintain a slimmed-down operation.
As mentioned above, the airport has also, as recently as 2018, been visited by USAF C17s removing nuclear waste from Dounreay. Whether there are to be any more of those flights I don't know, but if there are then that might be a reason for at least keeping the airfield in a state that could see it be made available for such flights.
(As an aside, HIAL commissioned AECOM to assess the runways for C17 use. However, anything appearing to relate to details of the C17 operations has been redacted. I've too few posts to allow me to post a link, but Googling 'wick, C17, theferret.scot' should find it.)
