Airport Facts

Aberdeen Airport (IATA: ABZ, ICAO: EGPD) is the fourth largest international airport in Scotland, and number 9 in the UK. The airport is located in Dyce, approximately 7 miles (11 km) north of Aberdeen city centre.

Aberdeen Airport is owned by BAA plc, the company that also owns London Heathrow Airport, London Gatwick Airport, London Stansted Airport, Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow International Airport and Southampton Airport.

History
The airport opened in 1934, intended to link the northern islands of Scotland with London. During World War II the airfield became an RAF base, and although fighters were based there through the Battle of Britain to provide protection from German bombing raids from Norway, it was mainly used as a photographic reconnaissance base. The airport was nationalised in 1947 and became part of the British Airports Authority (BAA). With the discovery of North Sea oil, helicopter operations began in 1967, linking the growing number of oil rigs to the mainland. As Aberdeen became the largest oil-related centre in Europe, the airport became the world's largest commercial heliport. Today, Aberdeen Airport handles more than 37,000 rotary wing movements carring around 468,000 passengers annually. Helicopter movements account for almost half of the traffic at Aberdeen Airport.
