Scotland has five  international airports: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Glasgow Prestwick and Aberdeen and Inverness. Scotland also has numerous minor airports which are very useful for reaching far-flung islands.

Click on the links below for useful information about Scotland's main airports.

There are a wide range of interconnecting flights between each of these and the main hubs. Compared to budget carrier prices, those on internal flights can seem pretty expensive on the whole, especially with very few discounted tickets available; however, the time saving compared to other travel methods may make it worthwhile.

Most flights are operated by Flybe. For inter-island flights in Shetland (excluding Fair Isle), you need to book direct through Loganair. Other services between the mainland and several of the major islands are provided by Highland Airways and Eastern Airways. Also, Loch Lomond Seaplanes operate flights from Glasgow to Oban, and Tobermory on Mull.
