Stornoway Airport (IATA: SYY, ICAO: EGPO) is the principal airport serving Stornoway, the largest town in the Outer Hebrides, located on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Western Isles. It provides a vital transport link for the island community, connecting residents and visitors to the Scottish mainland and beyond. The airport is operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), the publicly owned company that manages a network of airports across the Scottish Highlands and Islands. It handles scheduled passenger services as well as charter flights, air ambulance operations, and some freight traffic. Given the geographic isolation of the Western Isles, Stornoway Airport plays an essential social and economic role for the local population, offering lifeline connections that are particularly important during adverse weather conditions when ferry services may be disrupted.
