Graeme Bell, Inverness Airport Manager comments, “This is a fantastic achievement for Inverness Airport and is testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff who work so hard to ensure passengers have the best possible experience when they visit. We also have done exceptionally well to come ahead of Edinburgh Airport which ranked overall seventh and scored 76.89%.

“We are dedicated to our consistently high service provision which was also highlighted in January when we won a Which? poll that identified Inverness as best small Scottish Airport. We are consistent in our efforts towards bettering our services wherever we can and are proud to hold hospitality assured accreditation for our eighth year, as well as gaining premier status due to continuous improvement. To top it all off, we are also Loo of the year award winners in the national airport category for the 3rd year running! I would like to extend my congratulations to all involved here at Inverness and encourage everyone to keep up the good work as one of the best travel destinations in the UK.”
