None of the Dundee routes seem to be registered as PSO routes with the EU - unlike many routes to the islands. Being less than 1h30 from both Aberdeen and Edinburgh by either private car or public transport, how come Dundee gets an ongoing Govt subsidy without breaching EU rules ?

Further, using 364 days per year (ie not Xmas) Dundee has an average of just 80 departing passengers per day. Beginning to wonder how essential or worthwhile Dundee as a commercial passenger airport really is...
