Overview

Background & policy context:

Dundee Airport (IATA: DND, ICAO: EGPN) is a publicly licensed airfield open for scheduled, private and charter operators. It consists of a single east - west runway, aligned 09-27 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Tay, and is positioned less than 2 miles from Dundee city centre and with views over the nearby Tay Rail Bridge.

As it enters its 50th year of operations, the original grass strip airfield having opened back in 1963, the airport is facing some of the most difficult challenges in its history, with commercial services being lost, passenger numbers in decline and a growing operational subsidy

Objectives:

The focus of this study has been to evaluate the commercial outlook for Dundee Airport and identify, in the context of a range of short-medium term strategic approaches (or scenarios), potential problems and development opportunities that may undermine, or conversely help to improve its prospects.
