Out Skerries
OUT SKERRIES: Private airstrip
Aerial view
Note: This picture (2008) was obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 2001: Ms Alice Arthur
Airline user: Directflight
Location: NE of Bruray, NE end of island
Period of operation: 1980s to -
Runway: 2001: 09/27 380x18 gravel?
NOTES: A look at Google Earth (image date 2008) appears to show the runway length as 365 metres.
It appears that Directflight suspended operations in late 2018. It appears they used their two Brittan-Norman BN-2 Islanders for services to OUT SKERRIES.
You can find it claimed that OUT SKERRIES is the shortest runway in the UK that can be flown onto on a scheduled service. This claim seems doubtful and I would recommend seeing my listing for PAPA WESTRAY, and indeed, WESTRAY.
