Shetland Operators

I was wondering what operators fly out of the Shetland Island and what equipment do they use? I thank you in advance.

You are forgiven.
Go forth, and sin no more.

I looked at FR24 to see if the flights are shown, in the arrivals and departures section, but they are not. Same with Aberdeen! Odd....

FR24 utilises filed Flight Plans info for it's arrivals/departures info. As the UK N Sea flights don't file flight plans, for reasons I won't go into, they don't get captured by the flight trackers.

Thanks VL - in Den Helder they do, which now explains why the flights appear on FR24.
