From Dundee Airport's Manager this morning - good news :
I am writing to
confirm an exciting development for Dundee
Airport Dundee to Amsterdam Schiphol.
I am sure you
will agree that this is a significant milestone for the airport and city. A
considerable amount of work has gone into securing this route, with Flybe,
HIAL, Dundee City Council and Transport Scotland
working in partnership to deliver the new service, Dundee ’s
first ever international route. We are delighted that this hard work has now
paid off.
With access to
one of Europe ’s biggest and best connected hub
airports, this new route offers business and leisure travellers fast,
convenient links to hundreds of destinations worldwide and, crucially, creates
new opportunities for inward investment and inbound tourism at an exciting time
for the city.
Flights will
operate six days a week from 23 May and tickets are now on sale, priced from
£24.99 one way plus taxes. The schedule allows for seamless connections to
destinations across Europe and Asia, including Bangkok ,
Beijing , Hong Kong and Singapore

I hope you will
support this new route and encourage other stakeholders to do so. With the
support of the people of Dundee and Tayside, I
believe this route could be transformational for the city and its airport.
Yours sincerely
