Aberdeen Airport opened in 1934 to link North Scotland with London. The airfield became RAF Dyce during World War II. Fighter aircraft were based here to provide protection from bombing raids, but the airfield was bombed by the Luftwaffe on 26th July 1940 and 27th August 1940. However, no damage was reported. The airport was nationalised in 1947 and was transferred to the British Airports Authority (BAA) in 1975.

With the discovery of North Sea oil, helicopter operations began and Aberdeen Airport became the world's largest commercial heliport. More than half of all aircraft movements are helicopters. In October 2014 Aberdeen airport was sold to a consortium of Ferrovial and Macquarie Group. Aberdeen Airport is looking to extend the runway for larger modern aircraft to fly to destinations across the Mediterranean, North Africa and North America.
