## Description

Oil-and-gas equipment, time-critical spares and relief consignments give Inverness Airport (IATA: INV, ICAO: EGPE) a freight role unusual for a regional field. Operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) at Dalcross, about 13 kilometres northeast of the Highland capital, it handled roughly 824,000 passengers in 2025, around three per cent more than the year before, and ranked 22nd among UK airports in the first quarter of 2026. easyJet is the largest carrier and Loganair the second, serving London, Amsterdam, Dublin and the Highlands and Islands network. The airport runs a dedicated cargo terminal offering customs clearance, freight forwarding and warehousing, but no scheduled freighter services: volumes move as belly cargo on scheduled flights and on charter or ad-hoc freight flights within the UK and Europe. The upgraded A9 links the airport to Perth and Scotland's Central Belt, while the A96 runs east to Elgin and Aberdeen. Heavier energy-sector freight and shipments needing scheduled freighter capacity usually route via Aberdeen (ABZ) or Glasgow (GLA), with intercontinental air cargo typically consolidated through London Heathrow (LHR).
