Seaplanes

2008

The Greek firm AirSea Lines is carrying out a feasibility study into operating regular seaplane services in Scotland.  They hope to  have their first route in Scotland operating in 2008, followed by others over the next five years.

Routes being considering include:

-   Leith to English Lake District and

-   Leith to Western Isles of Scotland.

Such planes, capable of carrying 18 passengers each,  might take about an hour to reach their destinations.  Fares might be about  £200 return.

Another firm, Loch Lomond Seaplanes, already runs trips from the Clyde to the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
