Flights to Aberdeen
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Aberdeen is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,407 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Dundee Airport (DND, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aberdeen International Airport | ABZ | 9 km (6 mi) | 6,407 ft | 215 ft |
| Dundee Airport (regional) | DND | 95 km (59 mi) | 4,593 ft | 17 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,407 ft, ABZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 215 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
