Moray Estates, Highlands & Islands Airports Ltd. and Highlands & Islands Enterprise, with the support of The Highland Council.
Inverness Airport Business Park aims to be a world class business location and sustainable development with a holistic design that sensitively integrates the buildings into the landscape. The designs reflect the stakeholders’ commitment to promoting Inverness Airport Business Park to enhance the long term social, economic and environmental sustainability of the area, as well as providing a vibrant commercial hub that will build on the established and continued success of Inverness and the Highlands.

The new Inverness Airport (Dalcross) Station is to be built on the main Inverness-to-Aberdeen train line and is scheduled to open in 2022.
