The plan seems to be based on the hope that the London City route continues, otherwise.....
“The only alternative would be to close the airport to passenger services and lay-off the additional staff required to service them. Complete mothballing of the airport - at which point it would be returned to Dundee City Council under the terms of the lease"
The report confirms the losses at around £2.8m PA, which is about £5000 per take off for LCY
Given there are 7 flights per day from Edinburgh, 6 from Aberdeen and 5 from Glasgow at ridiculously cheap prices the Dundee flights are unlikely to draw customers from far outside the local area.
