Following today’s announcement regarding plans for the replacement of the Penzance Heliport (please see note from Robert Dorrien-Smith), the Islands’ Partnership has issued the following statement on this:
The planned re-introduction of a helicopter service to Scilly will provide added resilience and increased choice in the marketplace.
Together with the recent announcement from the Steamship Company confirming the introduction of the new freight ship later this year, this latest news will provide a welcome boost in confidence for both business, the islands’ community and our visitors.
We look forward to working alongside the Steamship Company and the prospective new operator as part of a shared and continued commitment to supporting tourism and business growth on the islands.
