00:00The travel business is 10 years old now. We've seen the success of flights departing Inverness.
00:07Inverness is my favourite airport, I love it, big advocate for it, love it or hate it,
00:11it's the easiest airport in the world to get through. So Lapland we thought we can do in a day.
00:19You look at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Saturday day trips to Lapland are always sold out,
00:24sometimes 18 months in advance, so there's clearly demand. So we decided let's try it
00:29and see how we get on. So we worked with the guys in Finland to come up with a programme for the day,
00:35work with the airline and then managed to kind of bond it all together so it's all protected
00:40under ATOL and what it needs to be. And we put it on sale and sold out in five days,
00:47which by tour operation standards is kind of unheard of, so we were really pleased with it.
00:53And it just shows I think that people are willing to support the local airport and support
00:59what happens locally, which is where we've been hugely encouraging for us.
