Aberdeen International Airport is gearing up to celebrate its 90th anniversary by inviting passengers and former employees to share their memories of the airport.
The airport in the north-east of Scotland was officially opened by Lord Arbuthnott in July 1934, and founded by Eric Gander Dower – dubbed ‘Father of Aberdeen Airport’ in press cuttings.
There will be several celebrations throughout the year to mark the airport’s ‘Granite Anniversary’ – which just so happens to also nod to Aberdeen’s moniker as the Granite City.
A special 90th logo has also been commissioned for use throughout the year, and stories shared by the public will be used for a project later in the year.
Mark Beveridge, operations director at Aberdeen International Airport, said:
“We know the city and airport have both changed so much in the last 90 years. As the current custodians of the airport it feels right that we look to reflect and celebrate the impact the airport has had.
“It is also very fitting that the airport in the Granite City is celebrating its Granite Anniversary. We want as many former colleagues to get in touch and for passengers to share their stories throughout the years. This will help us as we look to plan some celebration events for later in the year.”
