Westray Airport (EGEW)

Description

Westray Airport (IATA: WRY, ICAO: EGEW) is an airport at Aikerness, on Westray in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. It is best known for being one of the two airports joined by the shortest scheduled flight in the world, a leg of Loganair's inter-island service, to Papa Westray Airport. The distance is 2.8 km (1.7 mi) and the scheduled flight time, including taxiing, is two minutes. As well as the Papa Westray flights, services to the main Orkney town of Kirkwall are offered. Westray Aerodrome is licensed for flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Orkney Islands Council). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use. Westray Airport has a strong case as the shortest commercial runway in the world with runway 01/19 having a declared LDA distance of just 234 m.

Installation-Informations:

  • The artificial runways can be hidden, which is often useful for grass runways and/or for all runways if high-resolution images of the airfield are available. It is sufficient to rename the affected runway files, e.g.:

    • rap……m….m_rwy.tmb__OFF
