Scottish Government Allocates £1.8m in Additional Funding for Shetland's Lifeline Air Services
The Scottish government has announced an extra £1.8 million in funding to support Shetland's essential air transport links. This financial boost is intended to help cover rising operational costs for the lifeline services. The routes, operated by Loganair, connect Sumburgh with key mainland hubs including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Inverness. The funding ensures the continued viability of these critical connections for the island community for the 2024-25 financial year.
