I'm sure Scotairways used the D328 into AMS.

Anyway, I just find the whole thing very strange. Was there no investigation into the airfield radar capabilities before Government money was spent on a route development fund? The dash 8 has flown into DND before, as have other similar sized planes on a regular basis, so why was it never an issue before? FlyBE only had an issue after 7 months, including operating the route during the busy summer time when lght aircraft ops at DND are surely at their busiest? Not only that but they even increased the schedule during that time.

It's is frustrating that DND finally got such a route, it proved successful but still it has to end for reasons which seem to be totally resolvable. I hope it comes back.
