BRITISH AIRWAYS has launched direct flights between Inverness and London Heathrow. The daily service re-connects the capital of the Highlands to London Heathrow for the first time in almost a decade.
Economic analysis released by Heathrow predicts the route will have a significant positive impact on the Inverness economy with benefits for regional industries such as life sciences, food and drink, and tourism. The research found that for in-bound tourism alone, the link will could generate up to £8 million a year in additional growth.
Whisky and Salmon are the biggest contributors to the value of Scotland’s international exports of food and drink and are key sectors in the area around Inverness and the Highlands.
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said: ‘The Inverness-Heathrow route offers so much potential for the businesses and people of the north west of Scotland who for too long have been let down by the indecision on airport expansion. The new route means more growth and a more secure economic future for the Highlands.’
