## Description

On the machair of the Outer Hebrides, Benbecula Airport (IATA: BEB, ICAO: EGPL) at Balivanich is the central air gateway of the mid-island chain, sitting right beside the British Army's South Uist missile testing range. Loganair links it to Glasgow on weekdays – around eight flights a week as of 2025 – while the Stornoway route runs seasonally from May to October. Air freight here is the lifeline kind: mail, medicines and fresh supplies carried as belly cargo on the scheduled flights for island communities. Volumes are small, with no dedicated freight terminal. For larger or time-critical shipments, Inverness Airport (IATA: INV) on the Scottish mainland offers complementary capacity.
