Potential' for flights to Poland

An airport operator is looking at the potential for direct flights between Inverness and a destination in Poland.

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited said it was a market it was interested in, but stressed that "there was nothing on the horizon" at this stage.

There are thought to be more than 8,000 Poles living in the Highlands. Many of them travel to the Central Belt or London to make their visits to home.

Poles make up a significant community in the Highlands.

Many of them in Inverness, where Polish National Day celebrations were held in May.

A HIAL spokesman said: "Poland is a potential market from Inverness, but there is nothing on the horizon."
