Eday Airport (IATA: EOI, ICAO: EGED) is an island airfield on Eday, one of the isles of Orkney]. As it is close to the Bay of London it is known locally as London Airport.[1] The Bay of London may have been so called because of puffins breeding there: the Old Norse lundi means "puffin", giving the name á Lundunum, meaning "at the puffins".
Eday Aerodrome has a Civil Aviation Authority Ordinary Licence (Number P573) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Orkney Islands Council). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use.
