 The only fixed wing route operating regularly from Scatsta is the 7 or 8 times daily shuttle to and from Aberdeen, to ferry offshore crew to Scatsta for onward travel via helicopter to oil rigs, and also mainland workers at the Sullom Voe Terminal commonly working either a 2-week on/off shift or 10 days on 4 days off rota.The balance between oil service flights and "civilian" flights can be judged from the fact that the airport service area has no bar (the nearest is some away), no taxi or bus service (to anywhere), and three large rooms for helicopter passengers to don their survival suits before embarking.The first flight of the day from Scatsta to Aberdeen has no passengers from offshore – and can have anything up to about 60 passengers during the height of the season, although the figure is more commonly between 15 and 25 on an average day.
