I have four sons, one daughter, and two grandchildren. I am an avid Don's fan and make an effort to attend as many games as possible. My only personal hate is onions and garlic, and I feel they should be banned from all cooking.

WELCOME FOR ADDITIONAL ABZ FLIGHTS

Brian Adam MSP for Aberdeen Donside today welcomed the news that additional flights were being introduced by Eastern Airways to Leeds, Bradford, and Bristol. The increase in flights comes shortly after Ryanair’s unfortunate decision to axe their Dublin route from the airport in Mr Adam’s constituency.
 
Commenting, Mr Adam stated:
 
“This is good news for the airport and the area. These additional flights will facilitate easier commutes for business to the oil capital, and for other travellers alike.”
 
“It just goes to prove that the unfortunate decision by Ryanair to stop offering their low cost route to Dublin bucks the trend at Aberdeen Airport.”
 
“With the completion of the runway extension I am confident that the airport will be successful in luring even more routes to improve access to and from the city.”
 
“Aberdeen airport has a substantial role to play in forwarding the economic cause of the North East. I look forward to further good news to come, and welcome BAA’s continued commitment to the area.”
