Aberdeen Airport Disabled Facilities

Facilities for Those with Special Needs

To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey for passengers with special needs, Aberdeen airport has a number of disabled facilities. These include:

Reserved Seating Areas

There is a reserved seating area for disabled passengers. This area is fitted with induction loops for the hard of hearing, has additional space for wheelchair users to move around in, and arm rests on all the chairs.

Parking

There are a number of disabled parking spaces in the short-stay car park. These are clearly marked and are for badge holders' use only.

Long-stay parking for disabled passengers is also located in the short-stay car park; it is important that you inform the parking attendants of the length of your stay on your arrival, to avoid you being charged short-stay parking rates.

Tips for Disabled Air Passengers

You should compare the arrangements offered by different airlines before making your booking and be sure to check whether the cost of any special assistance is included in the price of your ticket.

Inform your airline of your particular needs in good time and check the policy of your airline if you wish to remain in your own wheelchair to the aircraft door rather than transfer to an airline wheelchair at check-in.

Remember that there are often long walking distances within airports and that this may cause you to require assistance. Pre-arranging any necessary assistance will ensure that it's available and that no time is lost in waiting for it to be arranged once you arrive at the airport.
