Westray Airport WRY / EGEW

Orkney Islands Council owns and operates Westray airfield under CAA Ordinary Licence P539 and provides airfield operation and PPR coordination for the Kirkwall inter-isle PSO service. Council airfield crew (RFF/RFFS) provide on-airfield fire and emergency response during scheduled inter-isle operations (corroborated by OIC news on Westray fire-crew emergency response). NOTE: as of the OIC airfields page, Westray (and Eday) are temporarily closed to GA traffic due to works in progress; PPR required for any access via the Westray PPR Request Form. · Council office Mon-Fri; airfield staffed during scheduled inter-isle service only (day VFR; not licensed for night use)

Loganair is the contracted Orkney Inter-Isles PSO operator (contract 1 Apr 2025 - 31 Mar 2029) serving Westray with Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander aircraft based at Kirkwall. The airline runs the lifeline service end-to-end including passenger check-in (closes 20 min before departure) and the 15 kg inter-isle baggage allowance; airline self-handling of check-in/baggage at the islands is inferred from the operation but not explicitly published as a formal ground-handling arrangement. · Per published Orkney inter-isle timetable (Summer/Winter)
