About Aberdeen International Airport

Aberdeen International Airport is the main gateway for the north-east of Scotland, handling more than 2 million passengers a year. It's the home base of Loganair and one of the world's busiest commercial heliports, serving the North Sea energy industry alongside its scheduled and holiday flights.

Airlines flying from Aberdeen include British Airways, easyJet, KLM, Loganair, Ryanair, TUI, Widerøe, Aer Lingus and Wizz Air. Its busiest routes are London Heathrow and Amsterdam, both of which connect onwards to destinations worldwide.

That mix of travellers keeps the airport busy all year. Families heading off during school holidays share the roads and the terminal with business and energy-sector travellers who fly week in, week out. Demand for parking near the airport builds quickly around peak periods, so leaving it until the morning of your flight is a gamble you don't need to take.
