The Loganair Westray to Papa Westray route and its return flight make up the shortest flight distance for any scheduled air carrier service. The route is 2.8 km (1.7 miles), and travel time, including taxi, is usually less than two minutes. The route is served by Loganair airlines' Britten-Norman Islander aircraft and links the island of Westray and the town of Kirkwall, on the Orkney Islands in Scotland. This record was established when service began in 1967, and it remains in effect as of December 2022.{{cite news|title=Final trip for Orkney shortest flight pilot|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-22668150|access-date=January 21, 2016|work=BBC News|date=May 26, 2013}}{{cite web|last1=Clarke|first1=Chris|title=The World's Shortest Commercial Flight Takes Less Than A Minute|url=http://flightclub.jalopnik.com/the-worlds-shortest-commercial-flight-takes-less-than-a-1697446932|website=Flight Club|date=April 17, 2015 |access-date=January 21, 2016}}
