## Description

Campbeltown Airport (CAL/EGEC) sits at Machrihanish near the tip of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute, and its air service exists because the road to Glasgow takes about three hours: Loganair flies the route twice daily on weekdays under a Public Service Obligation contracted by Transport Scotland, using DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft on a roughly 45-minute sector. The airport is operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL). Loganair accepts freight on the route as part of its air cargo service, with consignments handed to the handling agent at the departure airport, but the Twin Otter cabin limits volumes sharply and there is no cargo terminal or freighter operation. In practice the air link matters for urgent small consignments such as spare parts for the local distilleries and fishing industry. Larger and international shipments are routed via Glasgow (GLA) and Glasgow Prestwick (PIK), which is set up for freight; the unusually long runway dates from the former NATO base at Machrihanish and is not in commercial cargo use today.
