Land's End Airport (LEQ/EGHC) is the UK's most southwesterly airport, located near St Just in Cornwall about six miles from Land's End. It primarily serves scheduled flights to the Isles of Scilly, operated by Isles of Scilly Skybus, and is a key gateway for visitors to St Mary's and the surrounding islands. The airfield has a compact terminal and its coastal location makes it vulnerable to weather delays.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check the Scillonian III ferry status as a backup before flying, since fog at Land's End can ground flights while the ferry still runs from Penzance.
🚖 Getting There
By car, take the A30 to Penzance, then the A3071 to St Just; the airport is signposted about a mile from the town. There is no railway station at the airport; the nearest is Penzance, roughly 6 miles away, with taxis and limited bus services connecting onward. Allow extra time in summer and check bus timetables, as public transport to the airport is infrequent.
