Survey on direct flight to Poland
Inverness
Many Poles working in the Highlands live in Inverness
The potential for direct flights between Inverness and a destination in Poland is to be investigated by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).

An online survey has been launched on the agency's website to gauge the level of interest in the area.

Last month, BBC Scotland reported that Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) said it was a market it was interested in.

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.

The survey can be found at www.hie.co.uk/poland-flights.

It will help HIE determine how many people would use the service and how often.

That information will then be passed on to HIAL and to airlines who may be interested in developing new routes and services.
