LOCH NESS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: With the current vogue to re-name/re-brand airports to identify with their locations Inverness Airport, the hub of the Highlands, could join Robin Hood with a fantasy title. Whilst booming, the airport is set to throughput 720,000 passengers next year as against 320,000 post 9/11, there is a strong requirement to seek a scheduled destination on mainland Europe. 70% of passengers originate from other airports. The argument is that ”Johnny foreigner” has heard of Loch Ness, but not the city at its eastern end. Regulars to the airport will be pleased to learn that work is scheduled to begin very shortly on a new access road from the A96, where a roundabout will be constructed. The contract calls for completion within 12 months.
