Yes, they would. Currently all of ABZ is on the ground floor - there is no upper floor. You'd need to add a second floor onto the terminal, along with escalators, lifts etc for disabled passengers. That's quite a major investment, and for what gain? A slightly better boarding experience on BA? It's not going to attract any new services to ABZ, so it's just not a worthwhile investment.
