The Government has no such plans. We believe that air passengers are best served by a commercial airline market which is able to operate in a competitive environment. This allows airlines to determine the routes that they operate, and from which airports, based on their assessment of routes’ viability.

The Government recognises that air connectivity between Scotland and the rest of the UK is of real importance, and we are considering the issue of regional connectivity across the UK as we develop our upcoming Aviation Strategy.
