Letters / Thank you for sharing your views
I would like to take the opportunity to thank most sincerely all those who took the time out of their day on 17 July to join Flybe and Eastern Airways at the recent meeting we held in Lerwick and for sharing with us their thoughts and giving such valuable feedback much of which we have taken on board for consideration.
We very much appreciated your attendance and especially your keen interest in wanting to find out the real facts about our new joint venture services and our upcoming franchise with Eastern from the end of October.
We look forward to establishing a long and mutually rewarding relationship and to serving Shetland from 1 September for many years to come with a wider choice of affordable, lifeline routes coupled with multiple opportunities for onward connections; and to visiting your beautiful part of the world again before too long (and at a time we trust will be allow more of those unable to meet us at the first introductory session).
Christine Ourmieres-Widener
Chief Executive Officer

Become a supporter of Shetland News
Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
If you appreciate what we do and feel strongly about impartial local journalism, then please become a supporter of Shetland News by either making a single payment or monthly subscription.
