Aberdeen International Airport has upgraded all of its accessible toilets and baby change rooms to become stoma-friendly.
The airport has worked with Colostomy UK to introduce practical improvements designed to give passengers living with a stoma greater comfort, privacy and confidence while travelling.
A total of nine facilities have been upgraded, including two before security and seven after security.
Each now includes a shelf, bin, full-length mirror and two hooks, making it easier for people to change or empty their stoma bags safely and comfortably.
The improvements form part of Aberdeen International Airport's wider commitment to accessibility and inclusive travel.
The new facilities will also be added to Colostomy UK's Stoma Friendly Toilet Finder, helping passengers locate suitable toilets before travelling.
Aberdeen International Airport recently received a "Very Good" rating in the UK Civil Aviation Authority's 2025/26 Airport Accessibility Performance Report for its support of disabled and less mobile passengers.
The airport contributes more than £110 million annually to the north-east economy and supports around 3,400 jobs.
