The airport offers convenient access to several major centres within east and central Scotland, including Dundee city, Perth, Montrose, Forfar and Blairgowrie.

Services to and from Dundee Airport are currently restricted to flights arriving from other destinations in the UK and limited international charter flights, with approximately 75,000 passengers utilising the airport annually. New routes to Belfast and Birmingham have recently been added by FlyWhoosh airlines.

Dundee Airport (DND) Information: History and Facilities
Dundee Airport dates back to 1963, when it first opened its doors as an important local airport. Built on back-filled land on an area of the First of Tay, the airport comprised a short grass runway and began operating scheduled flights three years later, when the main routes included Glasgow and Prestwick.

In the early 1970s, the runway was tarmacked and then some 20 years later, extended to around 1,400 metres / 4,595 feet. A new terminal building was built in 1997 and more recently, the management on Dundee Airport (DND) was taken over by the Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. It is hoped that in the future Dundee Airport will be able to accommodate further scheduled flights and increase its popularity.

Owing to Dundee's small size and regional status, facilities are limited to an airport café, tourist help desk, parent and baby-changing room, first aid services and car rental agencies. However, there is good provision for disabled travellers, with specially adapted facilities.
