About Aberdeen International Airport
Overview
Aberdeen International Airport serves as a critical transportation hub for northeast Scotland, strategically located to support offshore oil and gas industry operations. The airport handles both commercial passenger traffic and significant helicopter and charter services related to North Sea energy sector logistics. Its four runways and medium airport classification make it an important regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Aberdeen demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.5% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 27.8% of observations. Temperatures range from -8°C to 20°C with an average of 6.9°C, presenting potential icing and temperature-related performance considerations. September, October, and November statistically offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features four runways with varying lengths and surfaces, providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. The longest runway (16/34) at 6,407 feet offers the most substantial landing and takeoff options. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 10.7 knots, with maximum recorded winds of 36 knots, indicating potential wind management challenges for pilots.
Approach Considerations
All four runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components ranging between 5-8.5 knots. Runway 05/23 has the highest average crosswind at 8.5 knots, requiring particular attention during approach and landing. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility, though fog is present in approximately 3% of observations.
