Isn't the whole point of PSOs offering better access for travel related to either business or public services? While Dundee has better access to EDI, it also has much more to offer in that regard. I don't really see why WIC would justify that, but maybe some local folks here have better insight. What was the typical clientele using the WIC flights more recently (which had seen passenger numbers drop by third over just 3 or 4 years)? I used (rather: tried to use) it once but it was leisure travel obviously not justifying taxpayer money spent on it. I took the train from Inverness and planned to return to EDI by plane, connecting to LON from there. Alas, fog and I ended on a coach that drove me to INV from where I got on a plane. Not terribly convenient, but certainly the alternative the taxman has in mind when consinderig spending money on a PSO, given the expansion of services from INV over the past few years (that was - before BE's collapse).
