Loganair is also reaching to crews employed by Eastern Airways.

A spokesperson for Loganair said: “Following widespread speculation concerning Eastern Airways operations, we’re stepping in to support passengers in any way we can.  As part of our commitment to keeping the islands connected, we’re introducing a special rescue fare on our Aberdeen/Kirkwall and Aberdeen/Sumburgh routes to assist affected Eastern Airways customers in reaching their destinations with minimal disruption.
