Remote Orkney island airstrip serving the community of Eday.

Location
Eday, United Kingdom
Eday Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located on the island of Eday in the Orkney archipelago of Scotland, United Kingdom. It serves as a vital lifeline connection for the island's small resident population, linking the community to Kirkwall, the main hub of Orkney. The airport is operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), which manages a network of remote Scottish airports. The airstrip is basic in nature, with minimal facilities, reflecting the small scale of traffic it handles. Scheduled services connect Eday to Kirkwall Airport, providing islanders with access to healthcare, education, and commercial services on the Orkney Mainland. These inter-island flights are essential given the limited ferry options in adverse weather conditions.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are extremely basic, typical of remote Scottish island airstrips.
Getting to & from
