NEW CONCERN has been expressed about plans by Highlands and Islands Airport Ltd (HIAL) to move to a system of remote air traffic control towers.
Western Isles Council and Na h-Eileanan an Iar MSP Alasdair Allan have both voiced new fears about the proposal.
In a letter to HIAL’s managing director, Dr Allan has questioned HIAL over the justifications for this proposal and raised concerns about the economic impact this could have in Benbecula and Stornoway.
