A Dundee business chief has leapt to the defence of Dundee Airport after Flybe pulled its popular route to Amsterdam.
Flybe blamed the landscape around the city and said “enhanced radar coverage is required” for the company to carry on operating the service.
“Services have been run out of Dundee for decades so it’s absolute nonsense citing this radar thing as an issue and Flybe should give people the real reason they’ve stopped the route.
“I think somebody at Flybe needs to set the record straight — this is nothing to do with the council or the airport.
When Mr van der Kuyl’s comments were put to Flybe, the airline said it would be making no further comment, and referred the Tele to its previous statement. The company insists it will look at opportunities to operate out of Dundee in the future.
