Aberdeen International Airport is preparing to welcome around quarter of a million passengers this summer.
Today (Wednesday, 2nd July) will be one of the busiest days of the season with more than 4,000 travellers expected to depart from the terminal.
Between June and the end of August, the airport anticipates approximately 250,000 departing passengers, as holidaymakers and business travellers take advantage of a wide range of domestic and international destinations.
This summer, passengers can enjoy non-stop international flights to popular sun and city break destinations including Alicante, Amsterdam, Bergen, Corfu, Dalaman, Dublin, Faro, Gdansk, Krakow, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Reus, and Stavanger.
Domestically, high-demand routes include London (Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton), Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, and the Scottish islands of Orkney and Shetland.
The airport’s preparations come on the heels of a major accolade, having recently been named Airport of the Year at the prestigious Scottish Transport Awards, recognising its commitment to service, innovation, and operational excellence.
Mark Beveridge, Managing Director of Aberdeen International Airport, said: “We’re always delighted to be the gateway to summer for so many, and this year, the City and Shire have many great events to enjoy, including the Festival of the Sea and The Tall Ships Races. We look forward to welcoming as many inbound passengers as possible who may be experiencing our region for the first time.
“As always, we encourage travellers to prepare in the usual way—arrive in good time, check travel requirements with their airline, and enjoy the facilities we have on offer. Our team is ready to ensure a smooth and enjoyable start to everyone’s journey.”
Passengers are reminded that under our new security process, they can leave all liquids up to 100ml, large electrical items, and other belongings inside their hand luggage.
