Despite a reported rise in ‘stay-cations’, Aberdeen Airport is bucking the trend and gearing up for one of the busiest days of the year so far.

As many as 10,300 passengers will pass through the airport tomorrow, Friday 2 July, as families make the most of the start of the school summer holidays. On Monday the projected peak will be reached at 10,400 passengers.

This year the estimated totals are very similar to the actual numbers reached in the first weekend of the 2009 summer holidays, and could possibly exceed them.

The top four destinations from Aberdeen airport this weekend are London, Amsterdam, Paris and Birmingham.
