Tiree (TRE): no public transport, and one taxi firm

HIAL lists no public transport to Tiree Airport at all, and one taxi operator. Arrange your transfer before you fly.

  • No public transport is available to the airport. HIAL states it in one line.
  • One taxi operator is listed for the island: John Kennedy Transport, 01879 220419.
  • Arrange your transfer before you fly. With one number on the list, calling on arrival is a gamble.
  • Most accommodation on Tiree will collect you. Ask when you book; on an island this size it is normal.
  • The airport is at Crossapol, PA77 6UW, at the heart of the island.
  • Tiree is small and flat, which is why cycling is a genuine option here and why the island is known for windsurfing.
  • The ferry from Oban also serves Tiree, calling at Scarinish, so some visitors arrive by sea and fly out.
  • The wind is the defining feature. Tiree is one of the sunniest and windiest places in Britain, and both affect flying.

There is no bus

  • HIAL's Getting Here page for Tiree says: "No public transport available to the airport."
  • That is the whole of it. There is no reduced service, no flight-timed shuttle, nothing.

The taxi

  • One operator is listed: John Kennedy Transport, 01879 220419.
  • Book before you travel. A single number is not a rank.
  • Ask your accommodation. On an island of this size, collection from the airport is a normal courtesy and often the simplest answer.

Where this is

  • The airport is at Crossapol, PA77 6UW, in the middle of the island.
  • Tiree is small and almost entirely flat, which makes cycling practical and makes the island one of the best windsurfing spots in Britain.
  • The Oban ferry calls at Scarinish, so it is possible to arrive by sea and leave by air, or the reverse.
