Airport Information for Wick John O'Groats Airport

About Us

Customer Survey  

Throughout April we are running a customer survey and we are inviting anyone who uses our airports to participate, to help shape the services and facilities we provide.  

We hope that the information collected for the survey will help us to better understand how customers use our airports and potentially to identify services and facilities which we can improve. We’ve produced a Q&A which gives more information about the survey.  

If you would like to take part, you can do so online here or by scanning the QR code below. Paper copies of the surveys are available at the airports – just ask a member of the airport team for a copy and return it to them once completed.

Surrounded by spectacular views and scenery, Wick John O’Groats Airport is situated one mile north of Wick, at the north-eastern extremity of the mainland of Scotland.

Once a Viking settlement, the area is now better known as the home to Castle of Mey and Old Pulteney whisky distillery.

The region boasts a wide range of activities and is said to have some of the most spectacular landscapes in Scotland.

More Tourist Information

The remains of the Castle of Old Wick, often referred to as the Old Man of Wick, sits atop the edge of the cliffs about half a mile south of Wick Bay and overlooks the sea.

One of Caithness’s most treasured gems is Castle of Mey which has strong royal credentials. It was bought and lovingly restored by the late Queen Mother in the 1950s and it became one of her favourite places.

For trivia fans, did you know that Ebenezer Place in Wick is officially the shortest street in the world – as listed by The Guinness World Records?
