The hub

Inverness, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Inverness occupies a strategic position at the convergence of the Great Glen, serving as the administrative and commercial capital of the Scottish Highlands. The regional economy is anchored by energy sector activity — particularly North Sea and renewable wind operations — alongside a robust hospitality and estate management sector. Major landowners, shooting syndicates, and whisky distillery groups routinely use INV as their preferred gateway, bypassing the congestion of Edinburgh or Glasgow for a point-to-point Highland connection.

Inverness Airport (EGPE) operates a single 1,891-metre runway capable of handling light to mid-size jets, including the Citation XLS, Phenom 300, and Learjet 75. The airport does not require advance slot coordination for private aircraft, which provides meaningful scheduling flexibility during peak Highland seasons — notably the Glorious Twelfth in August, the Highland Games circuit from May through September, and the Hogmanay period in late December. Handling is provided through Highlands & Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), with customs clearance available by prior arrangement during published operating hours.

Surface transfers from the ramp to central Inverness take under 20 minutes via the A96. Private estate access across Sutherland, Caithness, and the Cairngorms typically requires 45 to 90 minutes by road. For onward connectivity, helicopter charter to remote estates and island locations operates from adjacent pads, making INV an efficient staging hub for multi-day Highland itineraries.
