Private Jet Charter at Inverness Airport (INV)
Private Jets UK arranges private jet charter flights to and from Inverness Airport (INV), the busiest airport in the Highlands and Islands network and the practical starting point for everything north of the Central Belt. Handling comes through the Highland Jet Centre with its sister company Dalcross Handling, which is headquartered here and now works across Scotland. Vehicles are allowed onto the tarmac at both ends of a flight. The city is twenty minutes away by road, and a railway station opened at the airport in February 2023. Beyond it lie the North Coast 500, Loch Ness, the Cairngorms and the Speyside distilleries. Scotland proper, in other words. Our charter desk adds over 7,300 aircraft. All figures on this page are in pounds, with euro equivalents alongside.

Long-haul charter from Inverness: New York, Dubai and beyond
Northern latitude works in your favour on the Atlantic. Inverness sits close to the great circle route, closer than any English airport, so New York runs around seven hours nonstop and Boston is nearer still. Latitude pays. The runway is the thing to plan against. At 1,887 m and 31 ft elevation it handles heavy jets comfortably, while the largest ultra-long-range types departing at maximum fuel and payload are load-planned or positioned to Glasgow, thirty flying minutes south. We confirm which applies before quoting.
Treat these figures as the order of magnitude only. A precise calculation is free and reflects the aircraft actually available on your dates.

How Inverness works for private flights
Private flights use the general aviation terminal, handled by the Highland Jet Centre, which the airport describes as attentive service in comfortable surroundings. Behind it sits Dalcross Handling, its sister company, which supplies the full range of ground equipment. It is headquartered at this airport and now handles across Scotland. Signature Flight Support is present too, working through an approved local vendor. Three names, one ramp. The private terminal here is modest, and the main terminal is a short walk away for anything it does not cover. What Inverness offers instead is practicality, starting with tarmac access for vehicles at both ends of a flight. Here is how it works on the ground:
Handling on the field
What to expect, honestly
Getting into the Highlands

Which private jets fly to Inverness most often
The traffic here follows the seasons rather than the working week. Sporting parties, estate owners, distillery and energy business, and a steady thread of regional flying to the islands. Four types define the field:
Pilatus PC-12
Turboprop
The Highland classic: island strips, estate airfields and the short hops that define flying up here.
Embraer Phenom 300
Light jet
The southern connection: London in eighty-five minutes, Edinburgh and Glasgow in half an hour, and a comfortable footprint on 1,887 m.
Cessna Citation XLS
Midsize
The sporting standard: a stand-up cabin, the Mediterranean nonstop in summer, and a hold that takes rods, guns and clubs together.
Bombardier Challenger 605
Heavy
The long-leg option for the north. Twelve seats and transatlantic range, with the sums done against the runway before we quote.
Availability is comfortable outside the peaks. The pressure points are the fishing and shooting seasons, plus the summer weeks. Highland estates and the helicopter fleet fill together.
Helicopter charter and transfers from Inverness
This is the field where a helicopter earns its cost most obviously: Loch Ness in eight minutes, Speyside and the Cairngorms in fifteen, Fort William and the northern estates inside half an hour.
We arrange twin-engine machines such as the Airbus H135, H145 or Leonardo AW109 for transfers, lodge access and island tours. The helicopter meets your jet on the ramp and bags move door to door.
Twin-engine helicopter charter starts near £2,400 per flight hour with a two-hour minimum on most contracts. Nowhere in Britain is the helicopter more useful than here. Highland roads are long and slow, and a lodge that takes three hours to reach by car is often twenty-five minutes by air. Through the sporting season those machines are committed early, so book the rotary leg with the jet.
Useful to know before you fly from Inverness
The gateway, in the literal sense
This is the busiest airport in the Highlands and Islands network and the practical starting point for the North Coast 500, Loch Ness, the Cairngorms and the Speyside distilleries. Nothing else in the north comes close for road connections. For most Highland itineraries the alternative is a four-hour drive from the Central Belt.
Modest terminal, generous ramp
We would rather say this than have you discover it: the general aviation terminal here is functional rather than opulent, and the main terminal is a short walk away for anything more. What the field does offer is unusually practical. Vehicles are permitted on the tarmac both arriving and departing, so the car meets the aircraft at either end.
A station that arrived in 2023
The airport gained its own railway station in February 2023, connected to the terminal by a lit footpath and served by trains between Inverness and Aberdeen. Usage went from about six thousand in its first partial year to over sixty-one thousand in 2024-25. That is quick growth. For guests joining a party from elsewhere in Scotland it is a genuinely useful option.
Sport is the season here
Fishing, shooting, golf and the whisky calendar shape the year in the Highlands far more than business does. That is simply how the north works. Estates book their aircraft with the season rather than the week. Helicopter capacity for the remote glens tightens first. If your trip falls in the sporting months, arrange the rotary leg at the same time as the jet.
Pets travel in the cabin beside you, and animals heading for the estates are routine traffic here. On domestic sectors that is simple. For an arrival from abroad, GB entry rules apply, meaning microchip, rabies vaccination and an animal health certificate, and since not every UK airport is approved to clear animals inbound, tell the broker at booking that a pet is travelling: we confirm in writing whether Inverness can process the arrival or whether the routing needs adjusting. If documents need checking or your animal needs a pre-flight examination, we arrange a local vet the day before. Send the breed, the weight and the carrier dimensions.
The airfield was built by the Air Ministry in 1940 as RAF Dalcross and opened to civil traffic in 1947. What matters more to a booking is what has happened lately: Highlands and Islands Airports Limited runs it as the largest field in a network of eleven, and traffic reached 824,046 passengers in 2025. The railway station arrived in 2023, and terminal and runway expansion plans aim to roughly double capacity by 2045. For the far north of Scotland, this airport is not one option among several. It is the infrastructure.

Alternative airports near Inverness
Three Scottish fields cover the same clients from different angles, and the right one depends on where you are heading on the ground:
Not sure which field fits? Ask the broker. We compare handling, hours, runway limits and drive times before quoting, and in the Highlands the answer usually follows the lodge, the river or the distillery you are actually heading to.
