The hub

Wick:
private aviation airports and access

Wick sits at the top of mainland Britain, making Wick John O'Groats Airport (EGPC/WIC) the primary fixed-wing gateway to Caithness and Sutherland. The regional economy is defined by offshore energy — the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, decommissioning operations at Dounreay, and subsea services companies based in the area generate consistent demand for executive air transport. The airport's 1,880-metre Runway 13/31 is fully capable of handling turboprops and light jets, with handling provided through Highland Aviation. Block-in to town centre is under five minutes.

Wick's position on the A99 corridor connects it to Thurso and Dounreay to the west, while Caithness Glass, the Castle of Mey, and a scattering of private fishing and deer-stalking estates draw UHNWI visitors with no interest in commercial routing through Inverness or Edinburgh. For operators positioning aircraft north of the Great Glen, Wick offers refuelling and overnight parking with minimal congestion. PPR is advisable given the variable northern weather and limited ground handling capacity at peak periods.

The airport's annual movements hover around 7,200, a figure that understates its strategic importance: it is frequently the only realistic option for time-sensitive access to the far north of Scotland without a three-hour road transfer from Inverness Airport. Customs entry by prior arrangement is available, giving operators flexibility for inbound transatlantic routing via the Faroes or Iceland when combined with suitable tech-stop planning.

Data & methodology

Prices.
Indicative price ranges are planning estimates, not confirmed aircraft offers. Positioning, dates, availability and services affect the final quote.
Flight times.
Calculated from great-circle distance and average cruise speed per category, plus taxi and climb allowances. Actual times vary with winds and routing.
CO₂ estimates.
Modelled estimates depend on aircraft category, distance and the assumptions shown in the methodology. They are not measurements of fuel burned on your flight; SAF and offset availability require confirmation.
Airports & FBOs.
Airport and handling information is provided for trip planning. The operating crew and handling provider must confirm current AIP/NOTAM restrictions, opening hours and available services for the flight date.
