Shame....it's on my list of things to do but as yet have never done the beach landing....
That link didn't say Barra was to close - just that the service to Benbecula wouldn't get a Council subsidy. Barra is a HIAL airport. As the Glasgow flights seem to continue on to Benbecula, it'll be interesting to see what actually happens. Stopping the Glasgow link would be an unlikely change.
PS You can have a FREE beach landing at Solas. (Fly-in 13-17 June 2013.)
Quite right Maoraigh.....I guess I made the assumption that without Regular public transport there would be little reason to keep it open.....maybe I'm wrong
