I Took The World’s Shortest Flight

I took the shortest flight in the world. The world’s shortest flight is scheduled for just one and a half minutes and flies between Westray and Papa Westray, two Scottish islands located on the Orkney Islands, off Scotland’s north coast.
The Westray to Papa Westray flight has been recognised by the Guinness World Records for being the shortest commercial flight in the world and has been in operation since 1967.
The flight between Westray and Papa Westray is operated by the Scottish airline Loganair and covers a distance of a mere 1.7 miles or 2.7 km.
The aircraft that flies the shortest flight route in the world is very small with space for the pilot and 8 passengers.
In this video, I share my experience of taking the shortest flight in the world in Scotland and also share with you my day spent exploring the beautiful Scottish Island of Papa Westray.

WHO AM I?
I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in my home country Scotland and now is the time to change that!
I am a huge fan of campervan travel and alternative living and I've spent over 600 nights living in vans, it’s my favourite way to travel due to the incredible freedom, adventure and affordability.
My campervan is a 2001 Toyota Hiace high roof van. It was originally used by the Royal Mail and then purchased by the previous owner and self-converted into a DIY campervan.
On this channel, I’ll be sharing about my campervan, any DIY I do, and most importantly my road trip adventures as I finally get to travel my beautiful home country of…. SCOTLAND!

  • The design of the small airplane is very simple and functional, and the color pattern is beautiful with checks and white. There are no planes in Japan that fly such short distances, and I was lucky that I didn't have a round-trip ticket, so I was able to travel both by air and by sea. Scotland has small elevation differences, making it ideal for cycling.

The Islander was built on the Isle or Wight and is the most successful airliner the UK has built, with 1280 of them coming off the production line (some licence built in Romania). Infact production is to restart as there is such a demand for these versatile aircraft. As a comparison the Boeing 747 Jumbo production was finished at 1574 aircraft.

    • There's been a project going on for five years now to convert the type of aircraft you were on, the Britten-Norman Islander, to electric propulsion. This makes sense, because - although venerable, it's a popular, reliable aircraft for short hops and skydiving, so there should be customers for an improved version. Electric engines could potentially bring the benefits of big reductions in noise, running costs, and air pollution. Unfortunately the project seems to be going nowhere, producing mostly press releases. Like many green and worthy efforts it can get distracted by mission drift, adding more and more different goals and project partners, each with their own objectives. I believe it's now switched from batteries as the electric energy source to hydrogen fuel cells. Cranfield Aerospace Solutions seems to be in charge, the programme is called Project Fresson.

As a side note I was working on Shetland and scheduled to be on the last flight on Friday evening which was the first flight of the day that just waited until evening to return but when it landed and they opened the cargo door to unload it the door was blown off.

  • Hola Ruth. Te acabamos de conocer. Somos Laura y Ángel desde Navia, Asturias en España. Tenemos 30 años y somos unos enamorados de Escocia. En noviembre de 2019 fuimos con nuestro coche hasta Fort William, Portree, Edimburgo... cogiendo el ferry Santander - Portsmouth. Tú viajas en una camper, nosotros en vehículo eléctrico. En 2024 tenemos planeado volver a Escocia un mes entero de nuevo en nuestro vehículo eléctrico, y tenemos pensado ir a Orkney. Espero subirme en ese avión y hacer esa ruta. Estamos viendo tus videos y aprendiendo muchísimo. Te hablo en español porque mi inglés no es del todo bueno 😅. Un saludo de tus amigos Laura y Ángel de Asturias, España ❤ gracias por tus videos.

    • Hola, gracias por su comentario. Me alegro de que te gusten los vídeos. Está bien escribir en español. Puedo leer tu comentario y entender el 90%. Estudié español en México durante 6 meses hace unos 5 años, pero ahora mi español es un poco oxidado ahora jaja así que voy a utilizar el software de traducción para escribir esto. Creo que hay una entrada en el blog de la página web de NorthLink ferries sobre viajar a las Orcadas con un vehículo eléctrico, tal vez puedas comprobarlo, podría ser útil.

  • 1990年8月にWestrayからPapa Westray経由でKirkwallまでフライトしました。当時はairportではなくairfieldで、滑走路はなくフィールドからの発着でした。Westray Airfieldは無人で誰もおらず乗客も自分だけ。不安でしたが定刻過ぎに6〜8人乗りの小さな飛行機にパイロットが一人で飛んできて、チケット確認も何もなく「乗れ」と言われました。Kirkwallまでの13分間のフライト中はパイロットはヘッドフォン外して雑誌を読んでました。この動画で33年前とあまり雰囲気変わってないのと、当時行かなかったPapa Westrayの様子が知れてよかったです。

  • Hi Ruth, great video and you couldn’t have asked for better weather. As always I learnt some new….as didn’t know that the shortest flight in the world was there. Unfortunately I never made it to the Outer Hebrides last week, as I was trapped by landslides either side of Kilmartin. Never the less I enjoyed my time there as there’s so much to see. Maybe you could do a video on the Kilmartin Glen area and the refurbished museum. As the Glen has over 800 historic sites. Enjoy your week and I’ll see you next video on Sunday. 😊x

  • Fun video! I’ve seen some of these spots in a Steve Marsh video, so it was interesting to see a different perspective. Smallest plane I’ve ever been in is a two seat Cessna 152, also a sailplane. Also once flew in a jet from San Jose to San Francisco, it was just a few minutes. Immediately after takeoff they told us to prepare for departure! It was part of a longer flight but there were people that got on in San Jose. Now I’m going to check out your channel 😊

I was plonked in the Co.Pilots seat and I was both amazed and petrified at the same time. It was probably the most memorable flight in my lifetime. Great to see they're still flying. . Keep up the good work. Love your videos and the history etc you put together. Xx

  • We went on one of those wee planes from Kirkwall to North Ronaldsay when we were there in 79. Back then, the North Ronaldsay airfield _was_ just a field and they literally shood the cows out before the plane landed. The best thing about it for me, as a 6 year old, was that the plane's wheels went over the cow pats, which were thrown up into the propellers and splattered all over the side of the plane! I'm sure that I told anyone I met about that for months afterwards! 😂
