The resumption of the full length runway means that it is now possible to accommodate not only the Category Two Islander aircraft which flies to the islands, but also larger Category Three aircraft.
There have already been a number of larger aircraft visiting the airport and the demand from visiting aircraft to return to Oban is extremely encouraging.
Interesting. What are these larger aircraft, given that both the current and next cycle AIP entries for Oban contain no reference to an increase in declared runway lengths, nor is there any NOTAM out announcing an increase in the runway length.
