I have friends on Lewis and the Loganair flights to Inverness and Glasgow are lifeline services. Especially in bad weather when the ferry gets cancelled.
If you live in Shetland, Loganair are the sole carrier so your alternative is an overnight ferry to Aberdeen. The island communities needs to be protected at all costs.
