Remote Scottish island airstrip serving the Isle of Coll.
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 lifeline connection for the island's small resident population, facilitating air travel to and from the Scottish mainland.
The airport is operated as part of the network of remote Scottish island airfields and handles light aircraft operations. Hebridean Air Services has operated scheduled flights connecting Coll with other Hebridean islands and the mainland, providing an essential service for residents and visitors alike.
Given the island's remote location and small population, the airport is a simple grass or sealed strip facility with minimal infrastructure. It plays an important role in ensuring the community remains connected, particularly during periods when ferry services may be disrupted by adverse weather.
