Private plane access

Shetland has a number of light aircraft landing strips, and a number of private aircraft visit Shetland every summer. Airstrips are at Sumburgh, Scatsta, Tingwall, Papa Stour, Foula, Skerries, Whalsay, Fair Isle and Unst. Use of these airstrips is very dependent on weather, especially wind direction, and local advice MUST be sought. The BEST source of information for up-to-date Shetland airstrip reports and any special information is the office of Loganair who run the inter-islands flights throughout Shetland, and are based at Tingwall.
Call Loganair on +44 (0) 1595 840246 or 840247(Operations).
