To operate and maintain the airstrip for the benefit of the population of the island of Foula and visitors as a vital lifeline to the Shetland mainland. Foula Airstrip Trust provides the only airfield on the island. Its infrastructure provides an essential lifeline to the island for the regular scheduled and banked flights. It provides a landing area for emergency evacuations. It is the principal passenger entry point to the island. It provides an emergency food/provisions link during winter when the ferry is unavailable due to poor weather.

Objectives: The principal object is to operate the airstrip for the benefit of the population of the Island of Foula and visitors. Any income which may be received by said Trustees, from the collection of landing dues or from any other source shall be applied exclusively in furthering the objects of the Trust namely the maintenance, improvement or extension of said airstrip and any buildings, equipment and machinery ancillary thereto and no part of any income shall be divisible amongst the Trustees or any other person. In the event of the use of the airstrip being permanently discontinued for any reason, the Trustees shall make over all funds, rights and obligations held by the Trustees to such body or bodies charitable in law which are solely or mainly for the benefit of the said Island of Foula and/or of the inhabitants of that Island as the Trustees in their sole discretion think fit or if, in the Trustees' opinion, it would be impracticable or unreasonable for any reason whatsoever to benefit the said Island or its inhabitants, to such body or bodies, fund or funds, charitable in law which are solely or mainly for the benefit of the Shetland Islands and/or the inhabitants of those Islands as the Trustees in their sole discretion think fit.
