Spencer Pryor CEO of Obanair commented: "It might seem a strange time to be mooting new air routes in the depths of a recession, but we feel we need to start planning now for when the economy improves.
"We are hoping that our market research will show that there is a demand for a daily service on these routes using a small commuter aircraft such as a Jetstream 31 or Twin Otter.
"Dependent on the outcome of the research the company intends to apply for a Category B airline operators licence and undergo a second round of financing with the intention of starting operations in the Spring of 2010."
