Aberdeen City Council`s decision to remove restrictions on airport operating hours has been described by BAA Aberdeen as one of the most important developments in the airport`s history and one which can drive the North East`s future economic prosperity.
Following the Council`s approval of the airport`s application for full operating flexibility, Aberdeen Airport`s managing director, Andy Flower, said:
We are delighted that the restrictions on operating hours at the airport can now be removed. This is a significant milestone for North East Scotland and Aberdeen Airport`s ability to drive future economic prosperity to the benefit of the city and the region as a whole.
The flexibility this decision provides spells an end to the frustration felt by travellers and airlines alike as flights to Aberdeen were turned away and represents a turning point in our collective ability to market the city and the North East to airlines.
Of course, we are aware of the local concerns about these plans and we will work hard with our airline partners and our communities to minimise any negative impact as a result of the new arrangements.
The airport`s application to maximise the operational flexibility of the airport was supported by representatives of business, leisure, aviation and economic development interests across the region.
