Shetland's Lifeline Air Services Face 'Cliff Edge' as Key Contract Expires
Essential air services connecting the Shetland Islands to mainland Scotland are facing significant uncertainty. The current public service obligation (PSO) contract, operated by Loganair, is set to expire at the end of August. The Scottish government has not yet secured a new agreement, creating a potential 'cliff edge' for service continuity. These routes are vital for islanders who depend on them for medical appointments and other essential travel. Local representatives are expressing deep concern over the delay and the potential disruption to these critical links.
