The plane was carrying the Duke of Cambridge Prince William, the Duke of York Prince Andrew and the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie the BBC said.
They are then expected to make their way to Balmoral. The Royal Family's Scottish estate is around an hour's drive from Aberdeen airport.
It is understood the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, is on his way to Balmoral separately from other royals but has been in co-ordination with other family members’ plans the Press Association (PA) reported.
The Duchess of Sussex is not travelling to Balmoral with the Duke, with Harry making the trip by himself, sources have told PA.
Meanwhile, there are no plans for the Prime Minister to travel to Scotland on Thursday or Friday, Downing Street said. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman also said he could not give any updates on the Queen’s health or whether Liz Truss has been in touch with the Palace.
“The Prime Minister is working from Downing Street this afternoon in a series of meetings,” he said. "As is standard, I wouldn’t get into any contact certainly between the Prime Minister and the Palace.”
Asked if there were any plans for the PM to travel to Scotland on Thursday or Friday, he said: “No.”
