The same arrangement is in place at Islay ('terminal 2') for Hebridean Air Services' flights to Colonsay and Oban. Mssrs Brem-Wilson, who run AA, tend to deride this sort of thing as 'bureaucracy', so maybe they intend to surmount it.
Thank you I think that's a very plausible explanation.
If any operator is crazy enough to commence flights at SWS in the immediate future, are they going to fund the destination portakabin (s)?
