Data on aircraft movements are collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The CAA data does not distinguish between a take-off and a landing referring only to aircraft movements which can be either a take-off or a landing. The last three years for which there is a full year's data are 1996, 1997 and 1998.In 1996 there were 26,776 aircraft movements at Inverness airport. In 1997 there were 22,475 aircraft movements. In 1998 there were 26,875 aircraft movements.
