HIGHLANDS and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) is to ‘future proof’ its operations in Scotland with an estimated £28 million investment in state-of-the-art air traffic management technology.
The long-term remote towers and centralised approach surveillance control programme will transform the organisation’s operations at key airports including Stornoway, Inverness and Dundee.
The HIAL board agreed to the move in principle on Monday January 8 and will now hold further talks with staff, stakeholder groups and politicians over the implementation of the project.
