Last regular scheduled flight departs from Wick
Wick is the northernmost airport in mainland Scotland, and until 2020 it provided regular, scheduled services to Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Originally a grass airfield, it got its first concrete runway during the Second World War and, in peacetime, became a scheduled terminus and stopover point for civilian services.
