Next Generation Air Service?
I classify myself as an aviation enthusiast so it was with great interest that I recently read about the launch of a new commerical air service for the island of Mull in Scotland. Usually, launching a new air service is met with a mixed response depending upon which side of the environmental protection issue you stand on. This new service, however, is a bit different. Loch Lommond Seaplanes is to serve the Hebridean Isle ofMull from the city center of Glasgow with the quest of resuming commerically viable sea plane service. The service is to be operated by Cessna Aircraft that will leave little impact on the environment and make use of existing infrastructure. The flight will be a delight for frequent visitors to the islands as it will turn a 4 hour trip on country roads and ferry in a relaxing flight that lasts about a half hour. Alas, there is one drawback: flights are seasonal and will only operate during the summer schedule.
