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.
