WHSMITH’S Bookshop will reopen at Aberdeen International Airport after being closed for almost 18 months due to the pandemic.
Popular with passengers looking for a good book to accompany them on their travels, the store will reopen on September 2 after being opened as part of the airport’s £20 million Terminal Transformation in 2018.
