Recently, we welcomed Charandeep Singh, Chief Executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, on board one of our Glasgow to Wick PSO flights as he traveled north for a two-day visit focused on Highland businesses. 

Air Charter Scotland is proud to be offering air routes that not only connect family and friends but also help to create new economic opportunities for the communities of Caithness and Glasgow.

A Game Changer for Regional Connectivity

Talking about the flights, Charandeep Singh said:

“The new air link is a game changer for regional connectivity.

“This can be the difference between an investor getting on-site, a business reaching a customer, and someone getting home to see their family.

“I’m looking forward to using the new service and making the most of the shorter journey to spend more time with businesses across the region, hear their priorities and bring that perspective directly into the work we do across the Scottish Chambers network.”

Derek Thomson, COO, Air Charter Scotland commented: 

“Air Charter Scotland is delighted to support the visit from Scottish Chambers of Commerce and to demonstrate the important role the new Glasgow–Wick PSO route can play in improving business connectivity across Scotland.

“We are committed to supporting the route and ensuring it delivers real value for the communities and businesses it serves.”

Last week, we proudly launched our new Public Service Obligation (PSO) route between Wick John O’Groats and Glasgow Airport, marking the start of an exciting new era for regional connectivity in Scotland.

This new, enhanced service adds three weekly return flights between Caithness and the Central Belt, helping to connect communities, businesses and families across the North Highlands with Scotland’s largest city.

A Ceremonial Welcome to Glasgow

The inaugural Wick–Glasgow flight on August 17th 2026 touched down at Glasgow Airport to a traditional water salute; arcs of water sprayed over the aircraft by the airport fire service as it arrived on stand. This time-honoured ceremony is used to mark inaugural flights, retirements and other special aviation milestones, and gave our first Glasgow service the send-off it deserved.

About the New Route

The Wick–Glasgow service forms part of an enhanced PSO network running from 15 August 2026 to 14 August 2027, alongside the existing weekly return service between Wick and Aberdeen. The routes are operated by Air Charter Scotland in partnership with AIS Airlines, flying an 18-seat BAe Jetstream 32 aircraft, following a competitive tender process led by The Highland Council with support from Transport Scotland, HIAL and regional stakeholders.

The new Glasgow link opens up direct access to Scotland’s Central Belt for the first time in years, creating new opportunities for business, healthcare, tourism and economic growth across Caithness and the wider North Highlands.

“The introduction of Wick–Glasgow is particularly exciting. It will provide even greater opportunities for residents and businesses across the North Highlands — improved access to Scotland’s Central Belt, while maintaining the essential Aberdeen service that supports onward domestic and international travel.” – Derek Thomson, COO, Air Charter Scotland.
