It was the Air Ministry that developed the Inverness airfield as a Royal Air Force Station Dalcross (or RAF Dalcross) in the year 1940. The airport also served during the Second World War, housing several units during that time.
After the war ended, Inverness Airport resumed Civil Operations in the year 1947.

In the year 2021, HIAL announced its master plan to revamp the airport by the year 2045 to accommodate the increasing number of passengers. Besides extending the runway by more than 1000 feet, a new passenger terminal, which will be situated adjacent to the proposed Inverness Airport Railway Station, will be developed.
