Re: DUNDEE Airport

Hell of a lot of rumours about at moment, we shall all just have to wait and see, found this in news....

PASSENGER NUMBERS at Dundee Airport showed a small fall in 2005 but was balanced by a rise in the number of aircraft, writes Brian smith, aviation reporter.

The drop of around 2% was anticipated and reflected the first full year of changes to the ScotAirways Dundee to London City services, difficult weather periods and other factors, a spokesperson for the airport said yesterday.

The number of passengers fell from 51,338 in 2004 to 49,219. Aircraft movements over the same period rose from 32,120 to 37,259.

Increased activity by Tayside Aviation and a rise in the number of business aircraft accounted for the rise. The number of business aircraft more than doubled, from 42 to 100, and was attributed to the presence of The Open at St Andrews and flights associated with the G8 conference.

Dundee City Council economic development convener Joe Morrow said, “Dundee Airport continues to fulfil a vital role for this area and the direct link into the heart of London is an integral part of growing this city’s economy.”
