Talk:Aberdeen Airport

message: "The airport is located in Dyce, approximately 5 nautical miles (9 km) northwest of Aberdeen city centre." Why nautical miles of all units? Without good reason, an encyclopedia should stick to more conventional units - either SI or some unit common locally (in the UK, road signs are marked with miles) or preferably both. --Rhebus 11:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But in this case, the distance referred to is a local geographical distance on the ground and in the UK that ought to be expressed in miles (km).GraemeLeggett (talk) 16:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Looking at other airports pages from around the UK - Heathrow & Glasgow - the distance is presented in the same format as here. Kevgallacher (talk) 16:43, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just the UK it's in other countries as well. In a lot of cases the only source is the Aeronautical Information Publication. For the most part they give the distance from the town in NM (sometimes km), the airport elevation in feet and the runway lengths in metres (except for Canada and US where runways are still in feet). One thing to note is that the AIP very rarely says where in the town the distance is measured from. What I usually do is if the only source is the AIP then I use that and convert. Unfortunately, the convert template is not set up to use the "flip" so that miles or kilometres can be used first. If the article already has a distance from town and is sourced to something else, such as the official airport site, then I won't change it or add the AIP distance. For example if this article was changed to use this as a source for the distance then I'm not going to be changing it back. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 16:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nautical miles? 

message: Until recently this article was formatted to basically match the guidelines at WP:AIRPORTS. Recently however the formatting has been changed away from that, plus also basic Wikipedia Manual of Style recommendations (see WP:MOS). It is in all our interests to present a standard look to airport articles (and all articles). I have updated the article to match those guidelines again.
If you've got any questions please leave a note at WP:AIRPORTS, thanks/wangi 19:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It has been proposed to move Aberdeen to Aberdeen, Scotland or Aberdeen city, and to move Aberdeen (disambiguation) to Aberdeen.  The discussion about this is here.  --Una Smith (talk) 16:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Notice of requested move

message: I increased the number of routes shown on the the busiest route list from ten to thirty on the 11th of June. 
Three weeks ago, on the 13th of June, another editor undid my changes saying that "10 is more than enough for an airport of this size". 
I promptly posted the following on that editor's talk page "I notice you cut the list of busiest destinations at Aberdeen airport down to ten, which I think is not enough. Since we disagree, could you please point to any independent source for ascertaining how many is enough for a particular size airport."
Since that editor has not responded after three weeks, I am now going to revert that edit. Paulalexdij (talk) 20:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to  on Aberdeen Airport. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
