Perth Airport (PSL), also known as Scone Aerodrome, is a premier general aviation hub serving the Perthshire region of central Scotland, located in New Scone approximately 3 miles northeast of the city center. The airport operates through several specialized buildings managed by ACS Aviation, which serve as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and the locally-based Scottish Aero Club. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for Scottish aviation, providing a professional base for flight training and administrative support for the regional business community.
The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities for travelers and flight crews, including the popular 'Aviator Bar & Restaurant,' which offers full-service dining with panoramic views of the aircraft operations. A unique on-site feature is the 'Sky Lodge Perth,' a budget-friendly hotel that provides exceptionally convenient accommodation for visiting pilots and students just steps from the airfield. Travelers have access to professional briefing rooms, comfortable social spaces within the aero club, and free Wi-Fi throughout the main administrative complex.
Technical services at the field are comprehensive, featuring on-site fueling for AVGAS 100LL, UL91, and JET A1 during standard business hours. The airfield features three active runways, including two asphalt strips and a grass crosswind strip, capable of handling a wide variety of light and medium-sized aircraft. Ground transportation to central Perth is well-supported by local taxi services and regular Stagecoach bus routes toward Coupar Angus, providing a quick 15-minute connection to the city's main railway station and historic districts.

Scone Memorial Airport is tied to the Upper Hunters horse industry and charter flying, with the council noting regular use by aviation businesses, aero club traffic, and executive aircraft. For most travellers that means the airport is a quick handoff into town or the Hunter Valley rather than a place to linger.
At 397 feet elevation, the airport operates three runways including a 2,799-foot asphalt primary runway (03/21) with pilot-controlled lighting, a secondary runway (09/27), and a grass crosswind strip (15/33), along with several flight schools and a high-quality pilot lounge. If you need a commercial connection, Edinburgh Airport (EDI) or Dundee (DND) are both within a 1-hour drive That makes the airport useful only when the local road or hotel transfer is already coordinated. Since Perth Airport is a general-aviation field with no scheduled airline service, the sensible plan is to use road access into Perth or New Scone and treat the airport as a private, training, or business aviation stop.
