Sumburgh Airport - Much Needed Runway Repairs 

In January 2012, a judge ruled in favour of Shetland Islands Council (SIC) against paying for the cost of repairs to the defective runway extension at Sumburgh Airport. The need for repairs comes after the runway has been battered by south-easterly gales and storms. 

Battered by waves, displaced rocks and sucking infill from below the tarmac into the sea, the whole runway extension was in dire need of repair. Not just the tarmac but also the runway lighting and adjoining cables need repairing.
