Hello,

As a shetlander I dont see much point in keeping Scatsta open. Sumburgh has more to offer and has just had the runway extended - costing millions.

I think they should transfer back to Sumburgh like the old days.

Ok so they lost the SAR contract but they still have hangers at Sumburgh and if need be, there is room for more.

But yeah i think Sumburgh is better for the BP operations because its not like they can do much with Scatsta. They cant extend the apron and they cant extend the runway. Were as Sumburgh has ample apron space etc.

Cheers,
Shetlander
