Read full article at source: BBC

BBC – Swine flu, the recession and a bad winter have been identified as among the factors behind a fall in passengers using Highlands and Islands airports. Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) said it handled 1.1 million passengers in 2009/10 – 8% less than the previous financial year. It runs 11 sites – including airports in Argyll, Northern Isles and Dundee. HIAL said it received less subsidy from the Scottish government, but this reflected its efficient way of working. Public funding totalled £26.4m – 1.1% less than what HIAL received during the previous 12 months.
