Air Charter Scotland has announced that it has now completed four months on the Wick-Aberdeen-Wick route with a 98% dispatch reliability operating the 18-seat Jetstream J32.
“Our goal taking on this vital Public Service Obligation (PSO) route was to be consistently reliable and deliver a quality service that we are revered for in our day-to-day executive aviation activity,” said Derek Thomson, COO, Air Charter Scotland.
“I’m most grateful to our operations, ground handling team and our AOC partner AIS Airlines in the Netherlands for working so closely together to achieve a strong dispatch rate.”
The operator says small adjustments have been made to the timetable while entering the summer period that will benefit commuters, including those in the oil and gas sector and weekend leisure users.
