Best Time to Visit
Previously, DND airport was operated by the city council but later was transferred to Highlands and Islands Airports Limited in 2007. Additional restriction was also added including limiting the aircraft landing to only regional aircrafts, as larger aircrafts require longer runways. Currently, there is only one runway in DND airport measuring 1,400 meters with asphalted surface. Loganair to London-Stansted is the only airlines in operation in this airport as many ceased their operations. However, heavy traffic is still observed on golf seasons.
