Fares for Island Communities
The Island Residents Fare Card
The new Island Residents Fare Card grants discounted air travel to residents of Scottish Islands served by Public Service Obligation flights - routes subsidised by the Scottish Government. Specifically, those living in Barra, Tiree, Coll or Vatersay.
Brought to you by Transport Scotland and Loganair, the Residents Fare Card is the new way to ensure the communities that rely on air travel for work, leisure, and all occasions can connect to the mainland for less.
