Sounds like Scottish Government covering their arse rather than helping Highland
That's a pretty outrageous comment to make given that Highland is backed by a public enterprise company (i.e. taxpayer money) which funded the buyout and that, amongst others, it apparently owes money to Highlands & Islands Airports (government owned) and presumably others like the taxman. How much more help do you want, bearing in mind that state aid to airlines is illegal in the EU?
