The airport was also shortlisted in categories including Contribution to Sustainable Transport and Excellence in Social and Community Value at the awards, which took place on June 18.
Mark Beveridge, managing director of Aberdeen International Airport, said, “We are thrilled to have been named Scotland’s Airport of the Year for the second time, our first being in 2022.
“This award is also for our wider airport community, who employ thousands of people and share the same drive and desire to ensure our passengers enjoy a great customer experience.
