Air Officer Scotland

Air Officer Scotland is the senior Royal Air Force officer in Scotland, held since March 2025 by Air Commodore Mark J. Northover.

In 1962, the Air Officer Scotland role assumed responsibility for Northern Ireland, becoming Air Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In December 1994 the AOSNI post departed Pitreavie Castle (the AOC Northern Maritime Air Region post was being disestablished). The station commander of RAF Leuchars became an air commodore with the additional role of being Air Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Royal Navy equivalent is Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland while the British Army equivalent is General Officer Scotland.
