History

The airport was opened in 1963 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Tay. Originally it had a 900 metres (2,953 feet) 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.^[2] 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 m (3,609 ft) long tarmac runway in the 1970s and extended to the current length of 1,400 m (4,593 ft) in the 1990s. The airport was granted "customs airport" status on April 16, 1982 ^[3] and runway edge lights were added in 1983.^[4] The current terminal was opened in 1997 by the then EU transport commissioner Neil Kinnock.
