My question is not whether Dundee airport should remain open, but whether it should continue to be publicly subsidised to a large degree by the taxpayer when it has a small number of passengers, little or no freight / mail and has good ground transport links to 2 much larger airports relatively nearby.
If RAF training is the reason, then the Ministry of Defence should be paying more and HIAL less cash - if only for the sake of transparency of Govt expenditure. If there's another reason that HIAL subsidises Dundee, I'd be very keen to hear about it...
