Essence of Harris, the Luxury UK candle maker, has recently unveiled a new retail outlet at Aberdeen International Airport, marking the first time and independent retailer has become an airport partner there.

Aberdeen International Airport’s most recent transformation has officially been opened to passengers.

The improvement works come in the form of a brand new Changing Places facilities within the departures lounge, in an attempt to make travel a little easier for those who find the airport environment challenging.

What could be better than a holiday and a chance to meet some of the friendliest dogs in the country? Not a lot, right?

Figures released by the Civil Aviation Authority show that passengers passing through Aberdeen International Airport’s doors soared 10.7% in November 2017 compared to the same month in 2016. AIA’s chief has given a lot of credit to the recent success of the new “sun-kissed” routes such as Alicante and Malaga in Spain, which have boosted flight sales in recent months.

Aberdeen Airport has seen a great surge in passenger numbers for the 4th consecutive month, with 274,263 passengers using the facilities in May. International travel saw a 1.4% increase, while domestic travel was boosted by 4.2%.
