Remote Orkney island airstrip serving the community of Sanday.

Location

Sanday, United Kingdom

Sanday Airport is a small general aviation and scheduled service airstrip located on the island of Sanday in the Orkney archipelago, Scotland. It provides an essential air link for the island's residents, reducing dependence on ferry services across the often-rough waters of the Orkney Firth. The airport is operated by Orkney Islands Council, which manages several inter-island airstrips across the archipelago. Loganair operates scheduled services connecting Sanday to Kirkwall, the main hub airport for Orkney, making it a vital lifeline route for islanders needing access to healthcare, commerce, and onward travel.

Terminals

The airport has a very small, basic terminal facility typical of remote Scottish island airstrips, with minimal passenger amenities.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Sanday is limited to private vehicles and local taxi arrangements, as the island has no formal public bus network.
