Radar Fault Grounds All Lifeline Flights at Shetland's Sumburgh Airport
A significant radar fault at Sumburgh Airport in Shetland has forced the grounding of all flights. The issue, identified during routine maintenance, has led operator Loganair to cancel all services connecting the islands to the Scottish mainland. These routes to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Kirkwall are considered essential lifeline services for the community. Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (Hial) has dispatched engineers to fix the complex problem, but there is currently no timeline for the resumption of flights.
