Remote Scottish island airstrip serving the Inner Hebrides.

Location

Coll Island, United Kingdom

Coll Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located on the Isle of Coll, one of the Inner Hebrides islands off the west coast of Scotland. It serves as a vital link for the island's small resident population, providing air access to the mainland. The airstrip is operated as a basic facility with minimal infrastructure, reflecting the remote and sparsely populated nature of Coll Island. Loganair operates scheduled services connecting Coll to other Hebridean islands and the Scottish mainland, making it an important lifeline route. The airport's runway is short and suited only to small propeller-driven aircraft. Given the island's challenging weather and terrain, operations can be weather-dependent, and the airport plays a key role in the community's connectivity alongside ferry services.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building, operating instead with minimal basic facilities typical of remote Scottish island airstrips.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Coll Island is extremely limited, with the airport reachable primarily by private vehicle or taxi on the island's small road network.
