Remote Orkney island airstrip serving Stronsay community.
Location
Stronsay, United Kingdom
Stronsay Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located on the island of Stronsay in the Orkney archipelago of northern Scotland, United Kingdom. It serves as a vital air link for the island's small resident population, connecting them to the Orkney mainland and other islands.
The airport is operated by Orkney Islands Council, which manages several inter-island airstrips across the archipelago. Loganair provides scheduled services connecting Stronsay to Kirkwall, the main hub of Orkney, making it essential for residents needing medical, commercial, or personal travel.
Given the island's remote location and limited ferry connectivity, the airstrip plays a disproportionately important role in the community's access to services on the Scottish mainland and beyond.
Terminals
The airport has a very basic single terminal facility typical of small Orkney inter-island airstrips, with minimal passenger amenities.
