Eastern Airways celebrates 10 years of Aberdeen – Wick flights
21.04.11
Eastern Airways is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its service between Aberdeen Airport and Wick. The flights were launched in 2001 with two daily weekday flights operated by an Aberdeen based aircraft, providing an important link for energy companies and businesses in the North-east and the North Highlands.
They route was increased to three flights each weekday in 2004, and Eastern Airways re-based the aircraft operating the route in Wick in February 2005, offering improved timings and better onward connections from Aberdeen. In February 2007, the route gained an extra 1,320 seats a month when the larger 29 seater Jetstream 41 aircraft was switched on to the service.
Since 2001 the regional airline has operated over 11,500 flights between Wick and Aberdeen. The three times a day weekday service is used by business and leisure travellers and has helped to forge business links between oil and gas, renewable energy companies and other key businesses in Aberdeen and Caithness.
