Air Charter Scotland Secures Vital
Wick-Aberdeen PSO Extension

20 March 2026

Air Charter Scotland (ACS) is pleased to announce the extension of the Wick-Aberdeen PSO, a lifeline route for northern Scotland. 

The successful continuation of the Wick-Aberdeen-Wick Public Service Obligation (PSO) route through to 14 August 2026, which follows a formal agreement by Scottish Ministers to provide additional funding, ensures this critical transport link remains operational for the communities and businesses of Caithness.

Sustaining Regional Connectivity with the Wick-Aberdeen PSO

The funding confirmation from Transport Scotland reaffirms the Scottish Government’s commitment to rural connectivity. Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity Jim Fairlie highlighted the economic and social importance of the service, noting that the additional support provides certainty for the region following the collapse of the previous operator late last year.

“I am pleased to confirm additional funding for the Wick to Aberdeen air service until 14 August 2026,” said Minister Fairlie. “The Scottish Government fully recognises the economic and social importance of rural connectivity. This funding is a further confirmation of our commitment to the Caithness area.”

Operational Excellence and Increased Capacity

Since taking over the route in January 2026 under an emergency procurement exercise, Air Charter Scotland has worked tirelessly to restore passenger confidence.

From 1st March, ACS upgraded the service from the initial Beechcraft King Air 200 to an 18-seat Jetstream 32 aircraft. This transition has increased daily capacity by 10 seats, catering to growing demand from the oil and gas sector, business travellers, and leisure passengers alike.

Derek Thomson, COO of Air Charter Scotland, commented:

“We are delighted with today’s news. Reliability on the route has been excellent, and passengers have responded very positively to the service. With the arrival of Spring and increased demand, the introduction of the Jetstream 32 was timed perfectly to support the community. We are also looking forward to adjusting our timetable at the end of March to better serve the needs of our passengers based on the feedback we have received.”

A Strategic Link for the North

The flight, which takes just under an hour, offers a vital alternative to the near five-hour car journey between Wick and Aberdeen. Highland Council Leader, Raymond Bremner, praised the “fantastic job” ACS has done in regaining passenger trust.

“Extending the PSO to August gives us a real opportunity to promote and grow the route even further,” said Cllr Bremner. While the extension is a significant win, the Council continues to advocate for long-term lifeline connectivity beyond August 2026, having already presented a Full Business Case to Transport Scotland.

New 18-Seater Meets Increased Demand for the Wick-Aberdeen PSO

10 March 2026

Air Charter Scotland has upgraded the Wick-Aberdeen-Wick PSO route with the start of Jetstream J32 services this week, increasing the number of available seats to 18. 

Glasgow-based Air Charter Scotland, a leading on-demand charter operator, has been contracted with Highland Council to serve the route. It started flying the service on January 15 with a Beechcraft King Air 200. This lifeline route for the community of Caithness had paused for several months following Eastern Airways’ closure in October 2025.

Reliability with the King Air has been very good; it has regularly been carrying passengers back and forth to the Scottish mainland. With the start of Spring and increased demand, the J32 arrives at the right time. The alternative to the just under an hour flight is a near five-hour car journey.

The Jetstream J32 is now operating under a wet lease from AIS Flight Academy & AIS Airlines of the Netherlands. The regular flights depart from Wick at 0800hrs and Aberdeen at 0930 hrs Sunday to Friday, with fares starting from £89.99 one way and £119.99 fully flex. This is a return to its roots for the 18-seat Jetstream J32 turboprop, originally built at Prestwick, Scotland, by British Aerospace.

“Passengers have loved the King Air,” said Air Charter Scotland COO Derek Thomson. “Everyone in our team is most grateful to DragonFly Executive Air Charter, which stepped up with the King Air, when at the 11th hour, Border Force rejected European/EASA pilots flying for us. We’re now delighted to be able to offer a greater number of seats on each flight for the Wick-Aberdeen PSO on the Jetstream J32, providing even more people with links to the Caithness community with quick, convenient transport between the far north of Scotland and the major city.”
