[edit] Needs rewording
If you're in the middle of Aberdeen and you need too be at the airport ... From the bus or railway stations, bus # 27 leaves from outside St Magnus house, just beside the bus station. It's about a 45 minute ride, traffic permitting. The bus is about once every hour and a half from 07:30 to 18:00. Outside those hours, taxi is your only option. Fare from city centre should be about £12-£15 (2004 prices). The train stops at Dyce, but that's on the opposite side of the airport to most of the terminals. It is of some use if you're flying from the "Scotia" helipads, but a waste of time if you're using the main ('public') terminal, the "Broomfield House" terminal (for fixed wings up to Shetland), or helicopters from the "Bristows" of "BIH" terminals. (The names of the companies change irregularly).
[edit] Airport size
There is a mistake in the first paragraph, Aberdeen is the 3rd largest airport in Scoltand and is comfortable ahead of it's next nearest challenger Prestwick, approx passengers figures for running yearly total are Aberdeen - 3m pax & Prestwick - 2.3m pax. This is based on current BAA and CAA figures.
[edit] Nautical miles?
"The airport is located in Dyce, approximately 5 nautical miles (9 km) northwest of Aberdeen city centre." Why nautical miles of all units? Without good reason, an encyclopedia should stick to more conventional units - either SI or some unit common locally (in the UK, road signs are marked with miles) or preferably both. --Rhebus 11:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article format
Until recently this article was formatted to basically match the guidelines at WP:AIRPORTS. Recently however the formatting has been changed away from that, plus also basic Wikipedia Manual of Style recommendations (see WP:MOS). It is in all our interests to present a standard look to airport articles (and all articles). I have updated the article to match those guidelines again.
If you've got any questions please leave a note at WP:AIRPORTS, thanks/wangi 19:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BAAaberdeenlogo.gif
Image:BAAaberdeenlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
