AN Aberdeen accountant has brought a 750-space car park at the airport back to life – as he aims to shake up the market by offering a new concept to a growing number of flyers.

David Milne, 53, says he has crunched the numbers, and realised he can offer a service with “door-to-door transfer, total security, and cheaper than the rest”.

The site is just up the road from Cairn Industrial Estate, and was previously operated by Aberdeen Airpark, who closed down just as the pandemic struck.

But David feels there is now a gap in Aberdeen Airport parking, and he hopes his “£1 a day” promotion can fill up his 750 spaces in no time.

The car park was originally built on top of the former Dyce quarry, which was repurposed as a workers camp for conscientious objectors during the First World War. More recently, It was the home of Aberdeen Airpark for 17 years. David Milne has been owner of the land since the mid 90s.
