Xplore Dundee boosts Fly service frequency to Edinburgh Airport

Xplore Dundee is set to make travel between Dundee and Edinburgh Airport even more convenient by increasing the frequency of its popular FLY service. 

Starting from December 1, peak-time services will operate every hour, rather than every 90 minutes, enhancing options for both business and leisure travellers. This improvement increases the number of coaches being used at peak times to three, allowing the company to meet surging demand better.

The change comes in response to continued passenger growth throughout 2024 and consistent positive feedback from customers.

In October, Xplore Dundee added extra capacity to the FLY service on a trial basis and since then, the company has seen strong uptake, with the enhanced frequency designed to accommodate increasing numbers of passengers heading to Edinburgh Airport.

Stephen Riggans, Area Director at Xplore Dundee, 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."

The FLY service has become a cornerstone of travel for Dundee residents, operating around the clock and providing comfortable, reliable transportation on high-spec Mercedes coaches. In 2023 alone, FLY covered more than 500,000 miles, reflecting its critical role in connecting Dundee with Scotland’s busiest airport.

Stephen added: "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."
