Good to see that the second scheduled flight to Derry went off OK despite the first being cancelled. Word on the street is that load factors are picking up after a few early cancellations. The fact that there has been very little in the way of marketing the routes and that
PR has been minimal has meant that very few people know that Air Caledonian exist.
BA appear to have been dropping their fares, obviously to ensure that this new regional fails to get off the ground before it is established. The more competition on the Western Isles routes the better - the islanders have been ripped off with high air fares for years. Hopefully with both BA and Air Caledonian on the scene it will ensure that the beautiful Western Isles are opened up to more and more foreign tourists,
