Edinburgh, Eastern Airways, Flybe and Highland Airways all operate out of Stornoway Airport. Passengers will be able to find their way around the airport’s single terminal buildings easily as there are plenty of signs to lead the way and all the check-in desks are located together.

Stornoway Airport’s single terminal building was recently updated to offer visitors a wide range of modern services and facilities.
