Aberdeen to Sumburgh flight diverts to Kirkwall
BBC reporting
Further report from The Orcadian
A plane flying from Aberdeen to Shetland has landed safely at Orkney's Kirkwall Airport after sparking a full-scale emergency. Passengers reported that the cabin depressurised in mid-air after a cargo door burst open on a Loganair flight to Sumburgh in Shetland.

Not sure what they use up there but I doubt if there pressurised. Sounds like normal reporting rubbish with little real understanding. I dont think a door has ever opened into a pressurised cabin it would be rather tricky to say the least.
Not sure what they use up there ...
Loganair chief operating officer Phil Preston said Flight BE 6774 left Aberdeen bound for Sumburgh airport at 11.55am with 17 passengers and three crew.
He said the flight was diverted following the activation of a cabin de-pressurisation warning light.
“There was an issue with the cargo door at the rear of the aircraft,” he said.
“Our crew followed the correct procedures and the aircraft landed safely at Kirkwall Airport at 12.30pm, where it was met by emergency services as a precaution.
“A secondary aircraft is being flown up from Aberdeen to transport the passengers.
“A full inspection of the aircraft is currently being carried out by our engineering team.”

I notice you don't appear to know either
Not to mention their statement that "the cabin depressurised in mid-air", in case anyone was tempted to suggest it might have been one of Loganair's Islanders or Twotters.
