Ticket sales now open on reinstated Wick-Aberdeen flights
8th January 2026
Following the announcement on 23 December 2025 that Air Charter Scotland have been appointed to take over the Wick-Aberdeen air service, tickets for the service are now available for sale.
Tickets can be bought directly from the operator at https://aircharterscotland.com/ , and will also be available through online vendors such as Google Flights and Skyscanner.
There will be three distinct fares available:
Value - £74.99 one way - offering lowest fares with limited flexibility, available 14 days in advance and for the first week of the new service.
Standard - £89.99 one way - a mid-range price point offering a good balance of price and flexibility/change options.
Flexible - £119.99 one way – fully flexible and refundable, ideal for business or medical travellers requiring certainty.
Due to widespread disruption across UK and European airports as a result of extreme weather, there has been a slight delay to the start of the service. The service will now launch on Wednesday 14 January 2026.
