bad bear:
Waterford, they have one flight on Saturday, 2 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 4 flights daily for the other 4 days and the airport survives. Dundee has 2, 3 or 4 flights a day and seems to keep going so why would DTV have any problems given their current activity levels?
Waterford gets a government subsidy of €1.5m a year. Dundee is wholly owned by a subsidiary of the Scottish Government. Does that give you any clues?
DTVA is the same as a host of other airfields - used to be publicly-owned in the days when it was recognised that you can't make money out of running airports, now being run down to the bone by its private owners in a last ditch attempt to make the revenues match the costs.
