The problem may well be lack of UKBF cover. Darling Theresa whilst Home Secretary issued an order that 100% of all inbound international flights would be met by Border Force officers. Failure to do so would be a disciplinary offence and has led to a few high powered dismissals.
The nearest Border Force Office to Dundee is Edinburgh airport, inbound flights to Dundee would involve bussing officers up for a five minute job and then returning to Edinburgh. This would take three or four officers the best part of an entire shift eating up precious resources both in terms of working hours and a lack of cover back at base.
Resourcing to risk is not an option as ALL international flights MUST be met. The same scenario exists down at Exeter airport where UKBF staff either drive down from Bristol airport or up from Plymouth docks to meet international flights. One international flight into Dundee is just not viable from a UKBF perspective.
