A local ferry service form Papa Westray to Westray in the Orkney Islands was suspended recently, meaning that six teenage children had no way of getting to their secondary school, Westray Junior High. Thankfully, Loganair came to the rescue and are taking the children to and from school on what is believed to be the world’s shortest flight. The flight takes an average time of just 96 seconds and covers a little over a mile. The route is popular with visitors to the islands but is also an important lifeline to residents.
