Sumburgh Airport is expected to re-open by 11.30am after snow caused disruption this morning (Monday).

Flights to and from Shetland have been delayed by up to three hours.

In a statement, Highlands and Islands Airports Limited said the airport had been “closed” due to the weather but will re-open before noon.

Footage from Shetland Webcams shows Sumburgh staff working to clear the runways and essential areas, so they can resume normal service.
