Airport Information for Islay Airport

About us

Complete our customer survey for the chance to win flight tickets from Loganair

Throughout October we are inviting anyone who uses our airports to complete our survey, to help shape the services and facilities we provide. Anyone completing the survey will have the option to be entered into a draw for a flight for two on the Loganair network.

We hope that the information collected for the survey will help us to better understand how customers use our airports and potentially to identify services and facilities which we can improve. We’ve produced a Q&A which gives more information about the survey.

If you would like to take part, you can do so online here or by scanning the QR code below. Paper copies of the surveys are available at the airports – just ask a member of the airport team for a copy and return it to them once completed. 

See the draw Terms & Conditions here and our privacy notice here.
