GA charter operators in Scotland
Am looking to hire a 8-10 seat aircraft for flight Aberdeen to Edinburgh. Anyone know of Scottish based operator of KingAir B200 or slightly larger? Plenty aircraft in England but don't want to pay fancy Netjet type prices involving long positioning flight.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Am guessing you've tried both GAMA and Air Charter Scotland? most likely candidates off the top of my head, albeit that ACS operate Jets as AFAIK, and not sure if any King Air availability from GAMA in Aberdeen.
Always 2h20m in the train as an alternative, and probably a hell of a lot cheaper.....

I would agree to a point. It's actually a friend who wants the charter. I think he has some clients who have a tight schedule. Aberdeen to Edinburgh airport is about 2hrs 30 mins by road without delays. By aircraft, 45 mins max. Arrival at airport GA terminal to being on the aircraft should be no more than 10mins max.

ACS has (had) King Air 200, which would be perfect for this kind of operation. Flight between Aberdeen and Edinburgh is around 25 minutes. Not to mention, that both airports have dedicated GA terminal with no issues with parking, luggage or security. Have been couple of times in Edinburgh - when pax arrive in GA terminal to the moment when they were in plane - 10 minutes max. So all together around 1 hour or even less..

Probably need a good broker for this. ACS haven't had a B200 up north for years, occasionally a CJ2/CJ3 though. Gama's B350 is never available as it's the standby aircraft for SAS, the B200 doesn't charter.

Charter King Air
Hi.
Did you find what you are looking for. I work for Gama and I am sure I could put you in contact with someone that could confirm if they could quote for your charter request
