The airport is used in equal measure by tourists and business travellers and it is run by the Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. The airport has an interesting history having been used by the RAF during the Second World War. Midway through the 1970s the first flights to London Heathrow from Dalcross airport began to take off until there was a twice a day service. Routes to London Gatwick and Manchester airports soon followed, though they were soon after discontinued due to a lack of success.
However those services are operational again today with low-cost airlines Easyjet flying to Gatwick and Flybe connecting with Manchester. Although there are some seasonal services Switzerland and Germany on the whole scheduled international services have not been successful at Dalcross airport due to a lack of demand. Even the regular service to Edinburgh was cancelled. However there is still a good business in car rental Dalcross which is why we advise customers to book well in advance.
