Flying to the highlands an islands - getting cheaper

The BBC has just reported on quite a big rise in use of the airports around the highlands and islands - 57% since 2000/2001. This is of course pretty good news for folk living in these areas because the cost of flying is likely to come down with greater use. The Scottish executive has made quite a lot of effort to make flying from Scotland's main airports to the highlands and islands easier and cheaper for residents. This is a massive help for those trying to run businesses from remote areas. The main initiative has been the air discount scheme which gives residents a 40% discount on airfares between Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Benbecula, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh and Wick airpoorts.
