Yesterday, I met with the local operations manager of CityJet, operators of flights to London City Airport from Dundee, regarding their proposed winter timetable.
This follows the concerns I have raised about the problems the new timetable will pose for business users.
In a constructive meeting, I asked that CityJet rethink pushing back these flights to later time slots. It is also clear that the increased landing costs at London City Airport before 9am have not assisted and this is something I am taking up with London City Airport.
Senior City Council officials and representatives from Highlands and Islands Airports, operators of Dundee Airport, and CityJet are meeting tomorrow for further discussions on the matter.
