Aberdeen Airport completes phase one of terminal transformation; more duty free next

UK (SCOTLAND). Aberdeen International Airport has completed the first phase of its three-year terminal transformation project with Friday’s opening of new domestic arrivals facilities.

The area, featuring a new domestic baggage reclaim belt, is the final element of the airport’s extension building, now open weeks ahead of schedule.

Aberdeen International Airport Managing Director Carol Benzie said: “The launch of our new domestic arrivals facility is a fantastic milestone for us… it is so exciting for us today to see the last three years of planning come into reality. The opening of our domestic arrivals baggage reclaim has followed on from our new Northern Lights Executive Lounge, which opened earlier this month, and our International Arrivals Facilities that opened to passengers in May.
