About Colonsay Airport

Colonsay Airport is a small island airfield serving Colonsay in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Scheduled services commenced in 2006 after the grass airfield was upgraded with a paved runway, giving the island a regular air link to Oban on the mainland.

The airport lies about 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) west of Scalasaig, the island's main settlement and ferry port. Hebridean Air Services operates short scheduled flights to Oban Airport, typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays, connecting visitors with onward rail and road travel.

The airport has a single compact terminal building and a paved runway aligned 11/29. As a small airfield, its passenger facilities are basic, while shops, accommodation and most services are concentrated in Scalasaig.

A short road links the airstrip to Scalasaig, and onward travel around the island is by taxi, private transfer or car. For arriving passengers, the airport is a compact and convenient gateway to Colonsay's beaches, wildlife and island landscape.
