About Wick John O'Groats Airport
Wick John O'Groats Airport is a small regional airport serving Wick, Caithness and the far north-eastern corner of mainland Scotland. Operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, it lies about two kilometres north of Wick town centre and provides a vital scheduled air link to Aberdeen.
The airport occupies the site of a former RAF station that played a significant role during the Second World War before later developing into a civil airport. Today it handles a limited number of domestic flights, with a single compact terminal covering check-in, security, arrivals and departures in one building.
Its location makes it a convenient entry point for travellers exploring Caithness, the North Coast 500 driving route, John O'Groats and ferry connections to Orkney. Wick railway station is around a 25-minute walk from the terminal, while taxis, private transfers and car hire offer direct onward travel to Wick and surrounding towns such as Thurso.
Passenger facilities are simple but functional, including a café, free Wi-Fi and parking, reflecting the airport's role as a small community and business gateway rather than a large commercial hub.
