I think JaySata may have been referring to England.

However You are also wrong. Aberdeen (2.9m passengers in 2016 and declining at 15% year on year v 2015)) is a lot smaller in terms of passenger numbers than Newcastle (5.2m Pax. 2017)

Consolidating DTV with Newcastle and improving surface links (Rail, Air-Coach, A1(M) and A19 links) from all DTVA catchment areas would bolster case to expand services and airlines serving the whole North East region via Newcastle International.
