1 JAN 07: SEAPLANES FOR SCOTS

SEAPLANE flights will start operating from the River Clyde in the centre of Glasgow from the New Year.
Loch Lomond Seaplanes is Britain's first commercial flying boat service for more than 50 years. It will operate a Cessna Turbo Stationair T206 to the Scottish islands, including Arran, Bute, Oban and Tobermoray.

The company was started by airline pilot David West three years ago, and has been successfully operating charter flights from Loch Lomond.

Captain West, 49, told LOOP, "We want to open up the west coast [of Scotland] with a raft of new destinations to be added over the next few months.

"I would really like to provide a regular service to Skye and possibly even Edinburgh - that would be a journey of little more than 15 minutes from the centre of Glasgow."

Councillor Steven Purcell, Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "These services will be great for tourism, business and those looking to link the Clyde with other Scottish waterways."
