PLANS for a controversial move that would have seen airport tower jobs removed from some of Scotland’s most remote communities have been shelved following trade union pressure.
The tender exercise for the remote airport tower, which would have seen highly-skilled jobs with Highlands and Islands Airports (HIAL) centralised in Inverness, was cancelled this week.
Transport Minister Graeme Dey confirmed the cancellation in an answer to questions from Orkney MSP Liam McArthur.
