Aberdeen Airport (ABZ) Information

Where is Aberdeen Airport?  

Nicknamed the Granite City, Aberdeen is characterized by grand, ornate architecture: its buildings are built from locally quarried granite which sparkles like silver. A cosmopolitan and prosperous city, Aberdeen is adorned with parks and floral gardens, and a long, sandy beach.

Historically, Aberdeen's prosperity came from the sea and its harbour. Today's prosperity comes mainly from oil, the helicopters so conspicuous in the city's skies a constant reminder of the offshore workers commuting to North Sea platforms.
