Dr Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East has welcomed the study on the positive economic impact which Aberdeen Airport’s new runway extension will generate for the local economy.
She said, “I very much welcome the study into the positive economic impact which Aberdeen Airport’s new runway extension can have and congratulate all those involved as Aberdeen Airport on what is a positive and forward looking development.
“Tourism continues to be a vital grown industry for the North East and the study highlights the potential which Aberdeen Airport’s new runway extension has to provide a significant boost for tourism.
“It is vital that we send out the positive message that Aberdeen and the North East is Scotland’s premier tourism destination and take advantage of the opportunity to promote the North East to UK and international visitors especially during the London 2012 Olympics and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.”
