A six-day air service to the Western Isles is to be scrapped because not enough people are using it.
Bmi regional provides the only jet- engined aircraft on a route linking Stornoway with Edinburgh.
It said the service, launched less than four years ago, was not economically viable and would stop on 29 July.
Fewer than 17,000 people-a-year are believed to have been using the service, which is served by a 50-seat jet aircraft.
In a statement, bmi regional said: "Despite offering very low fares, insufficient passenger volumes combined with increasing fuel costs means that this route is no longer viable.
