It seems as though Bristows are trying very hard to keep a foot hold in Sumburgh, nice and physically close to the SAR contract (best to keep an eye on things there down, eh?
). And to use the property they have already have down there, rather than sell up.
Think you need to look elsewhere for the problem with Scatsta
Friend of mine flys in and out off Scatsta works offshore and he will tell you that the problem is the fixed wings many a time they fly into Scatsta with only 40 or so people on board not many for a 146 200 just 2 tiger loads .
That aircraft should be able to carry full loads into Sumburgh as I think it now has a grooved extended runway.
