A brave first post, so be tolerant all if I louse up on the technology!
Have folk picked up on Atlantic Airways entry into the UK domestic market with a twice weekly Stansted to Sumburgh routing during the 2006 summer schedules? Part of a through Stansted to Faroes routing with touchdown in Sumburgh en route. As they will have traffic rights STN-SDS as well, it will make for an interesting UK domestic service. Actually, in terms of distance, the longest UK domestic sector ever flown, and the first ever regular scheduled non-stop into Shetland from England.
The Shetland to Faroes link is the first for a while between Scotland’s Northern Isles and the Faroes. Back in the 60s Faroe Airways (KK) used to fly Vagar (Faroes) to Kirkwall, continuing on to Stavanger and then Copenhagen.

EDI-Faroes will probably be dropped next year. The main purpose was to position an aircraft to operate a ZRH charter rom EDI
