private aviation airports and access
St Mary's Airport (EGHE/ISC) is the sole commercial airfield serving the Isles of Scilly, a 55-island archipelago administered as a unique territory off the Cornish coast. With a single asphalt runway of approximately 780m, the airport handles light aircraft, turboprops, and small business jets operating under visual and instrument flight rules. For private operators, it represents the fastest and most reliable point of entry to an island group that otherwise depends on a seasonal helicopter service from Penzance and a notoriously weather-sensitive passenger ferry. Flight time from London area airports is under 90 minutes by turboprop, making same-day returns to Newquay, Exeter, or Bristol entirely viable.
The Isles of Scilly attract a distinct profile of visitor: landowners with island retreats, conservation investors linked to the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, film and media figures, and UHNWI seeking extreme privacy in a UK jurisdiction. The islands' economy is built around floriculture — Scilly produces a significant share of UK-grown cut flowers — alongside boutique hospitality and ecological tourism. Several private island properties and a small number of high-end hotels operate on the outer islands, accessible only by boat or helicopter from St Mary's quay. Positioning a light twin or turboprop into EGHE and arranging onward water taxi transfers is the standard mission profile for high-net-worth arrivals.
Operationally, EGHE operates with limited infrastructure by mainland standards. There is no full FBO in the conventional sense; general aviation handling is managed by the airport's own operations team. The runway length restricts movements to aircraft with appropriate short-field performance — Citation Mustang, King Air 200, and comparable types are the practical ceiling. Customs and immigration arrangements require prior coordination, as the airport does not maintain a permanent customs presence. Noise sensitivity and proximity to residential areas means circuit flying and late-hour operations draw close local scrutiny. Flight planning must account for Atlantic weather patterns, frequent low cloud, and the absence of a diversion alternative on the island itself.

The inside view
St Mary's is the largest of the Isles of Scilly — an archipelago of five inhabited islands lying 45 kilometres west-southwest of Land's End, England. With a resident population of approximately 2,200, the island combines sub-tropical gardens, white-sand beaches and crystalline Atlantic waters that are entirely at odds with the grey expectation of mainland English coastal tourism. It is simultaneously one of England's most tranquil and most sought-after private aviation destinations.
St Marys Airport (ISC/EGHE) — The Definitive Advantage of Private Charter
St Marys Airport (IATA: ISC, ICAO: EGHE) sits at the western tip of the island, approximately 2 kilometres from Hugh Town. The airport handles light aircraft and turboprop operations, with private charter turboprops providing the fastest and most reliable connection from the mainland.
The advantage over surface alternatives is decisive. The Penzance passenger ferry operates seasonally, takes approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours, and is subject to weather cancellation. Private charter by turboprop from Exeter, Bristol, Southampton or London airports delivers passengers to ISC in under two hours with none of the cancellation risk. Flyius coordinates weight-and-balance assessments, FBO handling and all ground logistics at ISC.
The Islands — Unmatched Natural Isolation
Hugh Town, on the narrow isthmus connecting the main island, offers quayside pubs, local galleries, flower farms — the Scillies are England's primary source of winter daffodils — and one-of-a-kind archaeological heritage. Bronze Age field systems, Iron Age village remains and Neolithic burial chambers are accessible on short walks from the airport.
The surrounding waters are among the clearest in the British Isles, with visibility sufficient for snorkelling and diving around the outlying Western Rocks. The five inhabited islands — St Mary's, Tresco, St Agnes, Bryher and St Martin's — are each reached by inter-island boat from St Mary's Quay, each offering distinct character.
Tresco, St Agnes and the Outer Islands
Tresco's Abbey Garden is one of England's most extraordinary horticultural achievements — a sub-tropical collection thriving under the island's microclimate. St Agnes is a car-free haven of wild heathland and ancient farming strips; Bryher faces the Atlantic directly and is favoured by serious walkers. St Martin's has the archipelago's longest beach and a small but accomplished winery.
Booking Considerations
Charter operations into ISC require careful aircraft selection and advance operator briefing on runway dimensions and weight limits. Peak demand runs from Easter through September; advance booking is strongly recommended for summer weekends. Ground transport from the airport to Hugh Town and inter-island boat connections can be arranged through Flyius as part of your complete itinerary.
