Fly UK Announces the Highland Connection Division
Fly UK is pleased to announce the introduction of the Highland Connection division; connecting The Highlands & Islands to the rest of the UK!
Highland Connection which is based in Edinburgh will allow members even more choice when selecting flights, particularly those of shorter durations. Fly UK has opted for the tried and tested Beechcraft 1900D regional turboprop powered aircraft. These aircraft are capable of operating from short strips which make them ideal for this type of operation. Although production of these aircraft ended in 2002, they are still in widespread use today. Fly UK has acquired four B1900D’s from the European Market, all of which now sport our new Highland Connection livery.
Highland Connection aims to connect all parts of the UK to The Highlands and so in conjunction with the existing Fly UK mainstream operations to and from Edinburgh; Highland Connection will offer services to Bristol, Manchester and Norwich.
Fly UK Members can now fly to the following destinations from the main base of Edinburgh:
Aberdeen, Benbecula, Bristol, Campbletown, Inverness, Islay, Isle Of Man (Ronaldsway), Kirkwall, Manchester, Norwich, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick

Canadian Xpress Summer 2012 Challenge: California Dreaming
Summer time has come to the west coast. Vacation homes are open and everyone is ready to enjoy the summer sun and surf. Summer time means higher demands for air transportation to the ocean playground of the Channel Islands.
Long Beach and Santa Barbara airports are our Sunshine Coast mainland hubs. From there you’ll be making scheduled flights to Catalina, San Clement, San Nicolas and Santa Cruz before returning to the mainland. Fuel is available at some of the island airports but at a much higher price compared to the mainland, so you must carry enough fuel for the whole trip landing with IFR reserves.
The California Dreaming tour consists of 10 scheduled flights where pilots will have to fly all 10 flights in a given amount of time using a particular aircraft.
Join Canadian Xpress® today in order to participate as there are some great prizes to be won from Continue reading
