Members of the public are asked to be aware of the likelihood of blue lights and emergency vehicle activity around Tingwall Airport tomorrow evening (Wed 5th) for a planned multi-agency exercise.
The exercise will last around two hours from 7pm, and will involve both Shetland Islands Council staff and partner agencies Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service, HM Coastguard and NHS Shetland.
The exercise will test the airport’s emergency response, and the learning outcomes will contribute to the airport’s emergency planning procedures, as part of its licencing requirements for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Tingwall Airport is owned and operated by Shetland Islands Council.
