Dropping off at Aberdeen Airport

Aberdeen International Airport's Express Drop-off areas are located directly outside the main terminal building in the upper forecourt. So, you can pull up right outside, where you can touch down just long enough to unload luggage. An easy and quick option. This can be a very congested area and is only suited for a conveniently close and quick drop off. 

Drop Off is charged at £5.50 to stay for up to 15 minutes. Drivers wishing to use parking facilities for more than 15 minutes are advised to use the Short Stay car park.

Passengers with electric vehicles will be able to access the Express Drop-off facility directly opposite the terminal free of charge for the first 15 minutes. This scheme is now closed, if you are already registered you are still eligible to use this service until 31^st May 2024.

Keen to meet your passenger in the arrivals area? Our Short Stay car parks are located just minutes away from the terminal. You can park, meet your friends or family, and help them transport their luggage back to the car.

While you’re waiting, take advantage of our free WiFi and keep an eye on flight information to find out when your passenger is due to land.

We recommend that the Short Stay car park is used for dropping off passengers who require extra assistance.  Please see the section below regarding blue badge holders.

If drivers choose to stay in the Express Drop-off for longer than 15 minutes, they will pay a premium charge on exit. 

Payment can be made at the forecourt exit barrier using credit/debit cards, contactless technology is also in place (there is no additional fee for using cards).

If close proximity to the airport isn’t essential, our free Long Stay pick-up option could be more suited to your needs.
