Xplore Dundee is increasing the frequency of its ‘Fly’ service between Dundee and Edinburgh Airport. From 1 December, peak-time services will operate every hour, rather than every 90 minutes, increasing the number of coaches used to three.
The change is in response to continued passenger growth throughout the year, the company says, and consistent positive feedback from customers.
In October, the operator added extra capacity on a trial basis and since then says it has seen strong uptake.
Area Director at Xplore Dundee Stephen Riggans said: “We are very pleased to announce this enhancement to our Fly service, offering passengers even greater flexibility and convenience when travelling between Dundee and Edinburgh Airport. This change is driven by the exceptional demand we’ve experienced in 2024, and we’re optimistic that the new timetable will further solidify Fly as the preferred choice for airport travel in the region.
“We had introduced timetable changes back in October as part of a trial period to better understand customer demand and the uptake on increased services has been terrific. Peak-time travellers will now enjoy hourly departures, ensuring that their journey to or from the airport is as seamless as possible.
“As we look toward 2025, we’re excited about the potential to continue growing and investing in this service. By increasing capacity now, we’re paving the way for future enhancements and ensuring our passengers enjoy a superior travel experience.”
