Private jet charter in ST MARY\\\'S

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.
