The hub

North Connel, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

North Connel, a small settlement on the southern shore of Loch Etive in Argyll and Bute, is home to Oban Airport — the only paved airfield serving the western Highlands between Glasgow and Inverness. With a single asphalt runway of approximately 890 metres, the field handles light twins, turboprops, and smaller business jets operating under VFR and IFR, making it a critical logistics node for estates, sporting lets, and island-access itineraries across the region.

The surrounding economy is anchored by land and sea: salmon fishing estates on the Awe and Orchy systems, red grouse moors across Argyll and Perthshire, deer stalking on private Highland land, and aquaculture operations that make this coastline one of Scotland's most productive. Inveraray Castle, the ancestral seat of the Duke of Argyll, lies 45 minutes by road. Glencoe and Ben Nevis are within 90 minutes. The ferry terminal at Oban town provides onward access to Mull, Kerrera, Colonsay, and the Outer Hebrides — making air arrival at North Connel a genuine time multiplier for UHNWI clients navigating the island itinerary circuit.

Seasonal traffic at EGEO peaks during the Highland Games calendar (May–September), the grouse season opener in August, and the autumn salmon runs. Customs is available with two hours' advance notice, enabling international positioning flights from continental Europe, Ireland, or London. Operators routing from Farnborough or London Luton typically use turboprops such as the King Air 350 or PC-12 for the sector, given runway length constraints. Clients departing from the UK or connecting through Edinburgh or Glasgow have straightforward surface or air options into North Connel.
