And you can fly direct from Amsterdam in the Netherlands in less than 2 hours! Of course, flight times and routes may vary, so please check here for available flights.

Easy transport links

The Kingsmills Hotel is just a short 20-minute taxi ride away from the airport. Inverness Taxis is the appointed airport taxi company and there is a dedicated taxi zone outside the terminal building, where you can get a cab. We can also arrange convenient airport transfers for you in advance.

If you wish to hire a car, hire services are available at the airport and you can arrange these before you travel.
