Cool

As I've been led to believe, they are/were planning to operate a EMB-110 Bandeirante on this route, possibly to tie in with the 'Scottish west coast golf season'? Can't substantiate this though and could just be a good rumour.

Being a very frequent visitor to EGPI, I was wondering how they were going to manage to operate a daily service from PIK. As I understand things, the IFR approach procedures into EGPI are 'discreet' and essentially 'owned' by Loganair (For want of a better phrase). Be interesting to see them get in and out everyday in the typical west coast gloom without the help of a legal instrument approach. VFR at 500ft maybe?!

If they get it up and running, then I wish them all the luck in the world. Be good to see someone else zipping around up here in the liquid sunshine of Scotland.
