A SCOTTISH airport with the world’s only “disappearing runway” has been featured in a new US YouTube series.
Airplane Mode, a series from travel website The Points Guy, takes viewers behind the scenes into the aviation industry and reveals how airlines and airports operate.
It aims to give travel lovers exclusive access, to learn about the industry, and gain insights into the world behind the screen.

The six episodes on their popular YouTube channel include stories from Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Airbus, Icelandair, Wisk and Barra Airport - one of the most unique airports in the world.
The episode on Barra explores how this Scottish airport operates, with the runway disappearing twice a day due to the high tide.
Loganair operates multiple flights daily from Glasgow, with only a public beach to land on – the world’s only commercial tidal beach runway.
We previously reported on a man who successfully pulled off a unique marriage proposal at the picturesque airport.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
