## Description

No other airport in the world runs its schedule by the tide. Barra Airport (IATA: BRR, ICAO: EGPR) at Eoligarry in the Outer Hebrides lands aircraft on Traigh Mhòr beach, where three pole-marked runways on the Cockle Strand are used according to the ebb and flow. Loganair operates the rugged DHC-6 Twin Otter to Glasgow, with timings set by the tides rather than a fixed timetable. As the island's only airport, BRR is a lifeline for residents, and belly cargo on those flights carries essential goods and mail; there is no dedicated freight terminal. Operator HIAL refurbished the 1936-built field for about £1.5 million in 2024. Larger consignments route through Glasgow (GLA).
