We fly throughout the Hebrides of Scotland on schedules and Charter flights. All of the scenery is outstanding. We also operate summer scenic flights from Oban.
Sadly we have had to stop flying to Islay after many years operating there. Our final flight was last Thursday The fire crew gave the aircraft a water canon salute as we taxied-in 😥 Thanks to all the staff at Islay for help and assistance over the years.
Well Oban Airports open day was a huge success with I'm told over 800 people attending. Despite the windy conditions we managed to operate nine 15min scenic flights and the feedback from everyone was fantastic.
Picture was taken at the end of a very busy day..😀

We're off the Coll and Tiree today and what a cracking day for it. Of course those who don't live in this part of Scotland won't realise that the weather like this every morning! 😬🤥
You'll not see this everyday. Our our parent company (Airtask) are are operating the Atmospheric Research Aircraft up to Loch Linnhe today to carry out some experiments so don't be alarmed if you see a large jet a/c flying along the loch at some fairly low levels. 1400-1700 ish.
Rolecall.. we were in Shetland on Mon/Tue assisting our colleagues in Airtask who had a couple of technical issues so we took the opportunity to record a rare sight of all three Islanders together. Second picture is on the flight back to Oban last night at 10,000 feet.
So we send GHEBS down to Leeds for some routine maintenance and what happens.. she ends-up getting legless! The good news is we should have her legs (AKA the dangly bits) shortly and have her home for next Friday. Apologies to all for the disruption to the flying programme.
We still have a couple of seats left on tomorrow's scenic flight so call us now on 0845 805 7465 or book on-line at .. this very happy lady did and loved every minute of it as you can see 😄
Seats available on 11:00 scenic flight from Oban Airport tomorrow. Call Reservations on 0845 805 7465 for further information or to make a booking. £80 per person.
We operated our schedule to Tiree yesterday and took the opportunity (as usual) to take a couple of pictures as it was such a nice day.. Coll and Tiree, Sound of Mull and Lismore and Mull.
Now children if you look at the water just above the nose of the aircraft I may be wrong but there looks to be a slight outline of something in the water? I wonder....
No points for guessing which Loch this big boy is!
