Aberdeen Airport opened in 1934 as Dyce Aerodrome. Requisitioned by the RAF in WWII, it was nationalised in 1947 and passed to BAA in 1975. The 1967 discovery of North Sea oil transformed it into one of the world's busiest heliports by 1988, a role it still holds today alongside scheduled passenger flights. Now owned by AGS Airports, it's Scotland's third-busiest airport and a key hub for offshore energy transport.
