I wonder if 'essential defence activities' is SG making sure PIK can still welcome night-stopping USAF, KAF, RCAF flights

Flight crew are pretty much exempt from everything

I suspect the only direct international flights are Turkish Airlines into Edinburgh and SAS & Wideroe into Aberdeen

Yes the SG are going to block this known loophole one way or another, either with the rest of the UK kicking and screaming or unilaterally.
