Getting to Dundee
Dundee recognises that excellent transport links are essential for any major city in the 21st Century. The city is easily accessible by road, rail, air and sea and located within 90 minutes' drive of 90% of Scotland's population.
Dundee Airport is growing in importance as a regional airport offering flights to London City, Birmingham, Belfast and Jersey. The Airport is seeing passenger numbers increasing year-by-year. The City Jet daily service to London City Airport means passengers can be in central London in little more than an hour.
Dundee is closely linked to the motorway network via the A90 Kingsway bypass and the A92 east of the city. Its inner ring road system helps to largely prevent the traffic congestion problems prevalent in other major cities and ensures that its travel-to-work time is kept to a minimum.
