Aberdeen Airport (IATA airport code: ABZ) is one of the ten busiest airports in the UK. It is located in the Dyce suburb of Aberdeen about 5.5 miles northwest of the city centre. The airport is currently one of, if not the, world’s largest commercial heliport; helicopters linking North Sea oil rigs to the mainland make up nearly 50% of all air traffic handled (Aberdeen is sometimes referred to as the ‘Oil Capital of Europe’). There is one main passenger terminal at Aberdeen Airport, this serves national and international scheduled and charter flights to British and European destinations. There are a further three terminals to be found at the airport, but these are used just for North Sea helicopter traffic. A £10 million development projected is under way to increase floor space and improve the existing facilities at the airport; the aim is to attract a higher number of international routes and firmly establish Aberdeen on the global transport map.
