Wick Airport (IATA: WIC, ICAO: EGPC) is located near the town of Wick in Caithness at the northern extremity of the mainland of Scotland. It is owned and maintained by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited.
The airport provides vital travel opportunities for the rather isolated Caithness community. It is also regularly used by helicopters servicing local offshore oil operations, and as a stop-over by light aircraft ferry flights between Europe and North America via Iceland.
