[edit] History
The terminal was opened by Loch Lomond Seaplanes, in August 2007, to allow the first commercial seaplane service in nearly 50 years[2] to start from the city centre, initially from Glasgow to Oban, in the former Pacific Quay shipbuilding yard, near Glasgow Science Centre. A new service to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull will start in 2008.
Loch Lomond Seaplanes also offer charter services from the terminal.
Future plans include services to Arran, Bute, and potentially intercity services between Glasgow and Edinburgh.[3]
