Dundee Airport is situated on land reclaimed from the River Tay just 1½ miles (2.5 km) from the centre of the city. This small airport primarily caters for private flying and business flights, with very limited scheduled and charter services. In 1997, a new terminal was opened by the EU transport commissioner, Neil Kinnock. Operated by the Dundee City Council until 2007, when control passed to the government-owned Highlands and Islands Airports Limited.
Dundee Airport has a single 1400m (4593 feet) runway, and has the International Air Transport Association (IATA) location code 'DND'.
