Scottish Government Extends Funding for Loganair's Shetland Lifeline Flights
The Scottish government has extended funding for Loganair's internal air services in Shetland with a £1.1 million package. This interim measure will sustain the crucial 'lifeline' routes until the end of July 2024. The flights connect the Shetland mainland with remote islands, including Fair Isle, Foula, Skerries, and Papa Stour. This decision provides short-term security for the essential services, which were at risk of being discontinued due to a funding gap. Officials are now working towards a long-term sustainable solution for the island air network.
