Hi everyone,
please bear with me in case I'm using the wrong board or missed the appropriate thread. I've been looking at search results for the last two hours but still couldn't find what I wanted.
I'm a big fan of Barra and had the chance to visit last summer, therefore I'm quite interested in its future. However, as a non-islander/non-uk (in fact living hundreds of miles away), it's a bit hard to get the latest news. Maybe anyone could give me a little update?
- How sure is it that the airport will remain open for some time? As I understand there have been multiple attempts to close it in the past by the government.
- Anyone knows about Flybe's intentions? Is the route a PSO?
- In May this year there was obviously some confusion about new aircraft . How much longer will the "old" Twin Otters make it? What's likely to be their replacement? The -400 series (DHC6 of course
), or anything different alltogether?
Your help is highly appreciated, thanks!
