Inverness Airport
Flights from Inverness began in 1940 when the facility was known as Dalcross Aerodrome and was nothing but waterlogged grass, but sufficient for Gypsy Moths and Lysander aircraft to land and take off. Civilian flights began in 1947 by which time solid runways had been constructed. The boom years came much later for the now modern facility, particularly with the introduction of budget airlines, and Inverness now accounts for over half of all flights into Scotland.

Inverness town profile
Historically, Inverness played a key role in fishing, shipbuilding and engineering. Only recently declared an official City in 2000, it has become the most cosmopolitan of the Scottish centres and plays an active part in popular culture with theatre, ballet and concerts running at the Eden Court Theatre. Its proximity to Loch Ness, the Moray Firth and Aviemore make it a popular gateway for those in pursuit of great scenery, golfing and skiing.

Birmingham Airport
Back in the 1930s, Birmingham Airport was built to meet the limited needs of local civilian and business air traffic. No one could have foreseen at that time that it was to grow into the sixth largest airport in the UK. The facility has undergone several upgrades and is now very popular for budget flights with no less than 7 low cost carriers operating regular flights to Birmingham.

It is worth noting that booking your parking space up to three months in advance can save you as much as 60% on standard charges.

Profile of Birmingham
Historically Birmingham has been associated with its key role in the industrial revolution when smoke from its chimneys was responsible for the area becoming known as the black country. Today this once medieval market town has shed this image and become a cosmopolitan city worthy of the millennium, its centre transformed into a modern shopping, leisure and business district.
