Loganair Seeks Government Support Amid Shetland Flight Disruptions
The UK's largest regional airline, Loganair, is facing severe operational challenges, causing significant flight delays and cancellations on its routes to and from Shetland. The airline's chief executive has issued an apology for the disruptions, which a local politician has described as a service 'meltdown.' These issues stem from a difficult fleet transition, with technical problems and a shortage of spare parts for the newer ATR aircraft replacing older planes. As a result, Loganair is appealing to both the UK and Scottish governments for support to improve the resilience of these vital air links.
