Dundee Airport, DND

Dundee Airport – Dundee, United Kingdom

Dundee Airport (IATA: DND, ICAO: EGPN) is located 3 km from the centre of Dundee, Scotland or, for navigation purposes, 0.5 nautical mile (0.9 km) south of the city. It lies on the shore of the Firth of Tay and overlooks the Tay Rail Bridge.

The airport was opened in 1963 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Tay. Originally it had a 900 metre grass runway. The first scheduled air service began on July 5, 1966, with a service to Glasgow. A fortnight later a feeder service was added for Turnhouse and Prestwick.The service was stopped on October 31, 1967 after British Eagle reported substantial £10,000 losses. The grass runway was replaced by a 1,100 metres long tarmac runway in the 1970s and extended to the current length of 1,400 metres in the 1990s. The airport was granted "customs airport" status on April 16, 1982  and runway edge lights were added in 1983.

The current terminal was opened in 1997 by the then EU transport commissioner Neil Kinnock.

Tayside Aviation operates a training facility and engineering workshop at the airport. This was supplemented by a maintenance hangar built in 1982. The airport welcomes general aviation traffic.
