The Scottish Government has announced £1.8 million to connect Glasgow and Aberdeen with the north of Scotland from next month. The multi-million-pound investment will enable the expansion of flights to and from Wick John O’Groats Airport from August 15, 2026, to August 14, 2027, under a public service obligation (PSO). This includes four flights a week to Aberdeen and three flights a week to Glasgow. Air Charter Scotland will operate an 18-seat BAe Jetstream 32, which the company has been using since restarting operations at Wick John O’Groats Airport in January 2026. Wick John O’Groats Airport faced an uncertain future last year as the last operator, Eastern Airways, cancelled the route to and from Aberdeen, leaving travellers without a reliable air connection.
