International scheduled services proved difficult to successfully establish until the late 2000s , when a weekly seasonal service between Düsseldorf and Inverness commenced in summer 2009 , operated by Lufthansa CityLine , and in 2011 when Flybe commenced daily operations to Amsterdam . The now-defunct Snowflake ( a low-cost subsidiary of SAS ) operated a twice-weekly service to Stockholm in the summer of 2004 , however the service was withdrawn after a short period of operation , owing to lack of demand . KLM uk operated a daily service to Amsterdam via Edinburgh in 1997 but this was short-lived , lasting only a few months . ScotAirways launched a service to Amsterdam in 2001 ; however , this was withdrawn following the events of 11 September . A four-times-weekly service to Dublin was operated by Aer Arann between 2006 and 2008 , before being withdrawn owing to escalating fuel prices
