During the month of May, we are honouring the memory of our beloved Director, Charlie , with a special step challenge — Sprint to Switzerland! ✨💚

Following the success of last year’s Amsterdam Tulip Walk, we’re taking inspiration from Charlie's favourite country. Starting 1st May 2025, we’ll be stepping together towards an equivalent round-trip distance to Switzerland — 2,272 miles, or approx 4,544,000 steps!

Every step we take is in Charlie's memory. If you're able to donate, your support—no matter the amount—would mean the world to us and will help drive the life-saving work of the BHF. For example, just £24 could fund two hours of research by an early career scientist. Every pound truly counts.

Aberdeen International Airport has unveiled “Hello Aberdeen,” an innovative digital assistant designed to provide instant support and improve every stage of the passenger journey.

Developed in partnership with Hello Lamp Post, the tool delivers real-time, personalised assistance, helping passengers access vital information and navigate the terminal with ease. Available via QR codes across the airport, it offers instant support on mobile devices, catering to all passengers, including those with accessibility needs and international travellers.

By automating responses to routine enquiries, the tool reduces the volume of common questions directed to staff, allowing operational teams to focus on more complex and urgent tasks.
“Hello Aberdeen” also unlocks new insights into passenger needs, helping the airport identify trends, improve services and address key areas for improvement.

A trial on using the new digital assistant was held last year at sister airport Glasgow in partnership with Connected Places Catapult with a focus on passengers who needed special assistance.
The trial showed:
• 50% reduction in queries being received by customer service staff
• 12,300+ more passengers supported per year
• 86% satisfaction rate with service

🐰🐣Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend! 🐣🐰

In celebration of Red Nose Day, our team came together to raise funds for this wonderful cause. We embraced our inner Mary Berry with a delicious cake sale, shared our best (and worst) jokes, and hosted a raffle with some fantastic prizes. Our team had a blast and were thrilled with the prizes they won!🔴

Thanks to Debs for organising. In total, we managed to raise £375 for Comic Relief. 👏💚
