Airline considers Prestwick – Islands flights

Obanair has revealled that they are considering starting flights from Prestwick Airport to Oban and Stornoway, the Post reports. Spencer Pryor from the airline told the newspaper: ‘It might seem a strange time to be mooting new air routes, but we feel we need to start planning now for when the economy improves.'

‘We hope our market research will show that there is a demand for a daily service on these routes using a small commuter aircraft such as a Jetstream 31 or Twin Otter. Dependent on the outcome of the research, we intend to apply for a category B airline operators licence and undergo a second round of financing with the plan of starting operations in the Spring of 2010.’

I wonder if the route could be subsidised?

Presumably these flights are for Goldtrail Holidays? Some of the flights that were operated by Onur Air last year are being operated by the new Turkish carrier Turkuaz Airlines at some airports. Do you know whether this is the case at PIK?

Thanks, dug.

I hadn't heard of Corendon Airlines so looked them up and found they are Turkish registered with headquarters in Antalya, and they operate a B 737-300 and some B 737-800s.

There also seems to be a Corendon Dutch Airlines, Dutch registered with headquarters in the Netherlands.

Every little helps, as you say.

Austrian airline Intersky planning on operating a weekly saturday flight to Berne using ATR72-600 small but welcome good luck to them

It's good news - similar flights announced from Manston, Newquay and Bournemouth.

The main man in InterSky is heavily involved with Intro, the German company taking over CityJet, and it's believed the intention is to merge CityJet and InterSky airlines.
