Highlands and Islands Airports Limited has introduced new safety measures as it prepares for the gradual resumption of scheduled flights.
All users of the company's airports, which include Inverness, will have to wear face coverings, use hand sanitiser and strictly follow social distancing rules.
Passengers will be required to wear face coverings before entering airport terminals and must keep them in place until their journeys are completed.
Only travelling passengers will be allowed in the terminal.
Managing director Inglis Lyon said: "We are pleased that we are now able to focus on a safe and gradual resumption of air travel.
"However it is vital that everyone plays their part in helping ensure we avoid risking transmission of Covid-19, by ensuring that you turn up at the airport wearing your face mask, maintaining social distancing and personal hygiene.
"We will continue to move in lockstep with Transport Scotland and adhere to Health Protection Scotland advice.
"We do not know if, or when, we will be able to travel as we did pre-coronavirus and, given that, all of us must adapt to these new habits and procedures in order to go about this part of our lives.
"As we implement our procedures, we are doing our utmost to get everything right for our passengers. I would ask anyone who has any concerns or comments, to please let us know in the first instance so we can address them and contact a member of the team at your airport."
EasyJet has announced it will resume limited flights between Inverness and Gatwick on Monday.
Other airlines have indicated they will also look to begin a carefully planned introduction of non-international services to HIAL airports in the near future.
