News / New Scandinavian air service commences
SUMBURGH airport was flying the Norwegian flag on Monday morning as the new Bergen to Shetland air service commenced.
The 12-seater Beechcraft King Air B200 aircraft, operated by Bergen Air Transport, touched down at Sumburgh slightly behind its scheduled arrival time of 9.10am.
The aircraft had five paying passengers, a Norwegian journalist and the company’s ground operations manager and general manager on board.
Bergen Air Transport’s business development manager Tom Roll said: “We have received a lot of positive feed-back since we officially launched the service and we have bookings several months ahead.”
The airline will connect Shetland with the Norwegian coastal city twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
