Remote Orkney island airport serving Stronsay community.

Location

Stronsay, United Kingdom

Stronsay Airport is a small general aviation and inter-island airport located on Stronsay, one of the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland, United Kingdom. It serves as a vital transport link for the island's small population, providing access to the Orkney mainland and beyond. The airport is operated by Orkney Islands Council, which manages several inter-island airstrips across the Orkney archipelago. Loganair operates scheduled services connecting Stronsay to Kirkwall Airport on the Orkney mainland, making it an essential lifeline for residents who would otherwise rely solely on ferry services. The facility is basic in nature, reflecting the modest demand of the island community it serves. Its short grass or paved strip and minimal infrastructure are typical of the network of small inter-island airports maintained across Orkney.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are minimal, consistent with a small island airstrip.

Getting to & from
