Land’s End Airport

Land’s End Airport at Kelynack near St Just is the mainland gateway for Skybus flights to St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly. It is Britain’s most south-westerly mainland airport and also serves visiting private aircraft, flying lessons and scenic helicopter experiences over West Cornwall. For Penzance visitors, it can be both a transport connection and an aviation stop in its own right, with runway views towards the Atlantic landscape.

The airport is outside central Penzance, so passengers arriving by rail should plan the onward leg rather than treating it as a walkable town-centre terminal. The airport publishes options including a pre-bookable transfer from Penzance railway station, public buses stopping outside, taxis and on-site parking. A free short drop-off area sits by the terminal, while longer stays use the airport car parks; travellers should check the current transfer timetable and parking terms against their flight before setting out.

Inside the terminal there is a public café, free Wi-Fi, toilets and a waiting area, and the airport provides accessible drop-off and assistance by prior arrangement. Flight passengers should follow the live Skybus guidance for check-in, baggage, pets and weather disruption, as island services can have different practical requirements from a large commercial airport. Visitors coming for the café, a scenic flight or to meet an arrival should also check that day’s operating information, particularly on Sundays or outside the main season.
