About

Argyll and Bute Council awarded a contract to DHC for a review of its Public Service Obligation (PSO) air services linking Oban with Coll, Colonsay, and Tiree.

The review aimed to inform the retendering of the PSO air service contract, which was set to end on 15 May 2019.

It covered current usage, options for timetable, frequency, capacity, and route changes, the impact of service reduction or withdrawal on communities, businesses, and the public sector, best practices in PSO air service tendering in the UK and Europe, improvements to passenger experience at Oban Airport (funded as part of the European Project SPARA2020), and industry interest in tendering for the future contract.

The contract value was AUD 8,360.
