THE sunny weather last week saw the Arran Brewery’s new Helipad in action for the first time.
The brewery has planning permission to build a terminal on the site of their heliport in the south of the Island of Arran above Kildonan.
Managing Director, Gerald Michaluk, who is a helicopter pilot himself, said: “It is greatto see our first visitors arriving by helicopter. We are hopeful more will follow when it is known we have the facility available.
“We plan to begin ground works on the new terminal this summer.”
Asked if this was a prelude to a regular helicopter service between Arran and the mainland Gerald replied: “We have no plans in this regards but will be offering site seeing tours through our sister company HJS helicopters at some point in the future.”
The brewery is allowing free landings with prior noti- fication and fuel will be available on site.
Those wishing to use the heliport should contact the brewery on 01770 302353 prior to arrival.
