Eday Airport guide

Eday Airport is a small airfield on the island of Eday in the Orkney Islands, beside the Bay of London. Islanders call it London Airport for that reason. It opened in 1971 and holds a CAA Ordinary Licence for public passenger transport and flight instruction. It is not licensed for night use.

Orkney Islands Council owns and maintains the airfield, which lies in uncontrolled airspace about 14 to 28 nautical miles north of Kirkwall Airport. It has two runways: a graded hardcore runway 07/25 of 527 m and a grass runway 18/36 of 518 m.

Loganair flies scheduled Britten-Norman Islander services from Kirkwall under a Public Service Obligation contract with the council. Flights to Eday are booked through Loganair. Private flights need prior permission from the council, with approval received before landing, and drones in the Eday Flight Restriction Zone need council permission.
