By Sophie Foster - Travel News www.dailystar.co.uk/An incredible airport exists where the runway disappears completely twice a day – so flights have to take place while the tide is out. Brits won't need to venture far either, as it sits on the coast of Scotland. The airport is on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides just 40 miles off the next to the sea. Every day, the runway becomes unusable as the tide comes in and it transforms into a public beach when the water floods to cover the sand. When the tide goes back out, planes landing in Barra do so directly onto the strip of sandy beach, reports the Daily Mail. Then, the water floods back, transforming it into a swimming and sunbathing spot again.

I guess that the time tables for arrivals and departures must be adjusted to coincide with low tide.

I can see them changing according to the time of year.
