Loganair will continue to operate a vital air link between London and Dundee after a fresh funding package was agreed.
The public service obligation (PSO) between the UK Government, Transport Scotland and Dundee City Council guarantees almost £3.7 million to keep the route open until April 2019.
The UK Government will pay half of the funds while the Scottish Government will put in £1.4 million and Dundee City Council £400,000.
Loganair will operate two return flights between Stansted and Dundee each weekday and one on Sundays.
Aviation minister Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon told the Evening Standard: "I am delighted that Loganair will continue to operate this direct air service between Dundee and London Stansted for another two years.
"Passengers and businesses will continue to benefit from the connectivity this route provides. It will further boost trade and tourism opportunities will continue to flourish in Scotland.
"Regional airports are vital to our long-term economic strategy, and we are committed to strengthening links across the whole country and in particular ensuring access to London to further boost growth across the whole of the UK."
