Aberdeen Airport has pledged to create 1,200 jobs after announcing the first phase if its £10m expansion programme.
The airport plans to open a new arrival hall for international passengers and increase the number of low-cost flights.

“It is vital that we maintain this momentum and continue to invest in what is an integral part of the transport and economic infrastructure of the North East.
