Staff from Argyll and Bute Council visited the CAA headquarters at Gatwick Airport last week to deliver a presentation to the inspection team reviewing the licence applications for Oban, Coll and Colonsay aerodromes.

Significant progress has been made since the first pre-licensing visit by the CAA to Oban, Coll and Colonsay in November 2007.
The vast majority of issues have been addressed, and the CAA acknowledges the significant amount work that has been undertaken,however, there are still some issues to be finalised which the Council anticipates will be completed over the next few weeks.

Councillor Duncan MacIntyre, the Council's transportation spokesperson, said: "This is another important development for Argyll and Bute Council with regard to achieving licensed status for our airports at Oban, Coll and Colonsay.

"A great deal of work has been undertaken and we are just about there in this process. Very soon we will be able to deliver on licensed air services to Tiree, Coll and Colonsay from Oban."
