Highland Airways was an airline based in Inverness, Scotland. It ceased trading on 24 March 2010 after failing to secure new investment. The airline operated passenger and freight charters as well as scheduled services from its main base at Inverness Airport. Other services included newspaper distribution to the northern and Western Isles and, until recently, charter services for corporate clients. Highland Airways was under talks for a buyout by Perth-based, Air Charter Scotland.[1] Aircraft were also based at Cardiff Airport.
The company held a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence.[2] It was permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.
