Shetland by Plane

The provision of inter-island flights is vital to ensuring the future of Shetland's most remote and fragile communities. In addition to allowing access for the island residents the flights also offer an essential service to the increasing number of tourists interested in visiting the numerous places of interest that Fair Isle, Foula, Papa Stour and Skerries have to offer.
