The route flown by Loganair between Papa Westray and Westray Islands
in Scotland UK is claimed to be the shortest commercial flight in the world.
About one and a half nautical miles and normally flown in 2 - 3 minutes the "flight" costs £30 ($54) return and a 58 second flight time has been claimed by one captain. The route is serviced by Britten Norman Islander (twin) aircraft Shocked .
Anyone outside the UK claiming a shorter C flight??
