Airport overview. Barra could be one of the quiet`s and unusual Airports in the world! Up to 3 schedule flights a day are possible here but the flighttimes are fix by the tide!
Maybe one of the smallest airport buildings worldwide? From left to right: control tower, fire station, departure, arrival and baggage reclaim. No fences! For boarding everybody have to walk over the beach to the aircraft.
