Shetland Operators

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

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....

Sumburgh arrivals/departures lists them all though: https://www.hial.co.uk/sumburgh-airport

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.
