Plans have been unveiled for two new hotels at Aberdeen airport.

The hotels will be built at the city’s ABZ Business Park.

£100m is expected to be invested for the construction phase alone.

It is expected about 2000 jobs could be created when the Business Park reaches full maturity.

The Business Park comprises 54 acres of commercial development land, which could be used to create office, hotel, general industrial and warehousing space.

ABZ occupies a site on the approach to Aberdeen Airport, with a direct road connection to the A96 at the main airport junction.

The development would feature a 140-bed Novotel and a 112-bed Ibis.

The plans have been put forward by ABZ Development Ltd and hotel operator Prestige Hotel Management Ltd.

The move follows a re-branding of the airport as Aberdeen International Airport.

George Stevenson, director of ABZ Development Ltd, said: "Aberdeen has for many years suffered a serious shortfall in terms of the number of hotel rooms available, particularly in the airport vicinity.

"We are extremely pleased to move forward with these proposals and look forward to working with PHM and Accor to realise the development of what are much-needed four star and budget hotel facilities for business and leisure passengers arriving into Aberdeen’s international airport."
