Inverness Airport (IATA: INV, ICAO: EGPE) is situated at Dalcross, 7 nautical miles (13 km) northeast of the city of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The airport is owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) who own most of the regional airports in mainland Scotland and the outlying islands.
The airport is the main gateway for travellers to the north of Scotland with a wide range of scheduled services throughout the UK and Ireland, and limited charter and freight flights elsewhere. The airport terminal is notable as an early example of the Public Private Partnership favoured by the UK Government. HIAL was critised for a PFI deal signed to build a new terminal at Inverness Airport. The deal signed by HIAL meant it had to pay £3.50 every passenger flying from the airport to the PFI operator. In 2006, the PFI deal was cancelled, costing the Scottish Executive £27.5m. [1]
The airport was originally used by the RAF during World War Two and was opened for civil operations in 1947.
