Highland and Islands Airports pauses Benbecual airport traffic control review

Highland and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) has announced it is pausing the air traffic control service review at Benbecula Airport for five years.

It was looking into proposals that the services could be controlled remotely from a hub in Inverness, but will now delay plans in order to wait for any upcoming changes to UK aviation regulations.

The airport is expected to make a decision on a separate review on the plans for the air traffic control at John O’Groats Airport in Caithness on Monday.
