The world's shortest commercial flight?

Quite possibly it is!

Watch this video from Matt Dearden's excellent Bush Flying Diaries, Indonesia blog, one of my favourite blogs, and well worth a view if you're into aviation, especially bush flying or the Pilatus PC6 Porter

Stuart Linklater, 59, will retire after making his final trip on the route between Westray and Papa Westray.

It takes just two minutes - including taxiing - to complete the 1.7 mile flight, which is about the same length as the runway at Edinburgh Airport.

Loganair said he can also lay claim to the record for the number of times he has flown the world's shortest scheduled flight and holds the record for the time taken to travel between the two islands - 53 seconds.
