Additional Travel Days for Inter Island Service
Hebridean Air Services has announced that the 2026/27 winter timetable for the Stornoway to Benbecula service will include two additional travel days.
The new timetable, which runs from 25th October to 28th March, expands the service with 2 return flights a day from Monday to Friday.
The additional travel days will increase choice for users of the services and add resilience in the event of flight cancellations or service disruption.
Cllr Uisdean Robertson, Chair of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said: “The expansion of the Stornoway to Benbecula service is welcome. The addition of flights on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s will improve the usability of the service for residents and reduce the need for overnight stays on either side of journeys. The service is susceptible to weather-related disruption, the two additional travel days will add resilience for passengers. With consideration for the available budget, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar will continue to work closely with the operator to ensure that the service meets the need of the community and public sector organisations.”
