Getting to and from Aberdeen Airport

Understand the ABZ transport choices before you choose a hotel: direct airport bus, rail via Dyce, taxi and driving.

Airport geography

ABZ is in Dyce, not central Aberdeen.

Aberdeen International Airport is north-west of the city centre. Your best transfer depends on where you are staying, your luggage, the time of day and whether you are connecting to onward rail travel.

Jet Bus 727

The Stagecoach Jet Bus 727 is Aberdeen Airport’s official direct bus service. Aberdeen Airport announced the refreshed route as a 24-hour, seven-day service in May 2026, linking the airport with Aberdeen and onward to Portlethen. Always check the live timetable for the exact stop and departure time you need.

Always check the current timetable for your travel date, especially around public holidays or service changes.

Rail travel via Dyce

Aberdeen Airport does not have a railway station inside the terminal. Dyce is the nearest railway station; Aberdeen Airport currently describes it as around two miles from the terminal and reachable by bus or taxi.

Taxi and driving

A taxi can be the simplest option for travellers with heavy luggage or for hotels that are close by road but awkward to reach on foot. If you are driving, compare parking before arrival so you know exactly which car park and transfer process you are using.

Hotel planning tip: If your flight is very early, the value of a walk-to-terminal hotel may outweigh a slightly lower room rate farther away once an extra taxi or transfer is included.
