Extract from "the plan"

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.
