WISTON, England, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Barra Airport, Isle of Barra, Scotland

Key Points: 
  • While it would be impossible to visit them all, component supply specialist Artemis Aerospace ranks their top six must-see runways.
  • Surrounded by rolling hills, the sandy beach is underwater at high tide, meaning flight times vary according to the tides.
  • Pilots need to be specially rated to operate here due to the length and confines of the runway.
  • The famous outline of Sugarloaf Mountain, which is on the runway's direct approach path, makes it tricky for pilots to navigate.
