## Description

Just 6,712 passengers used Campbeltown Airport (IATA: CAL, ICAO: EGEC) in financial year 2023, a measure of its role as a subsidised lifeline field at the tip of Scotland's remote Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll and Bute. Operated by state-owned Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), it links Campbeltown to Glasgow twice daily on weekdays under a Public Service Obligation (PSO), with Loganair flying the 45-minute hop in 19-seat DHC-6 Twin Otters. There is no cargo handling; air freight for the area routes through Glasgow (GLA). Notably, the airport shares its site with the former RAF Machrihanish, whose runway of over 3,000 metres is among the longest in Britain, though it plays no freight role today.
