HIAL today confirmed that it had no plans to change Wick Airport’s opening hours on Saturdays after 31 October 2004 when Loganair intends to drop its Saturday flight between Wick and Edinburgh from its schedules.

The airport handles a considerable volume of non-scheduled traffic with much of this general aviation business occurring at weekends.

Paul Clarkson, HIAL’s General Manager Operations, said: “There are no immediate plans to alter opening hours at Wick following the changes to Loganair’s winter schedules. General aviation traffic is an important part of the business at Wick and the airport will continue to support this.”
