THE AirTask Group has announced the acquisition of Hebridean Air Services and will now deliver vital air services to Coll, Colonsay and Tiree on behalf of Argyll and Bute Council.
These services are provided with the help of a £2 million subsidy from the council over the three-year term of the public service obligation (PSO) contract. The current contract runs until June 2018.
AirTask will also operate a commercial service to Islay, not covered by the PSO contract, as well as private charter services out of Oban Airport.
