It was articles like this that made me worry a bit (it's of 2002, though):

The end of the flight would see the beach airport sink into the sand with the 11 jobs it supports. Barra councillor Donald Manford fears the island and the aviation world will lose the route. 'Finishing off the Glasgow-Barra service would be shocking, but it seems that this is what we are being prepared for,' he said.
'The people of this island are worried and enraged as what is happening starts to sink in. The rug is about to be pulled from underneath our feet.

And here in "Undiscovered Scotland" was the most worrying news:

Sound of Barra Ferry to
Eriskay, there had been a question mark over the future of the Barra air service. It has, however, been confirmed that the service will continue to operate until at least 2009: so there's still time to experience this amazing air service.
