Airports inquiry - views wanted

Lisa Paton

The UK Parliament's Scottish Affairs Committee has launched an inquiry into airports in Scotland. 

The Committee calls for evidence to be submitted on the following issues: 

  • What has been the effect of the coronavirus pandemic and reduced flights on Scottish airports and local communities, including tourism? 
  • How do airports support the local and regional job market?  
  • How effective is the movement of air freight for essential supplies in rural or isolated airports? 
  • Is there a sufficient level of investment in the infrastructure around airports in Scotland? 
  • How will airspace modernisation affect Scottish airports? 
  • What schemes are in place to reduce the carbon footprint of airports? 

The Committee would like to hear from people who are involved with, work in or live near any airport in Scotland. This includes the main commercial airports, airports owned by the Highlands and Islands enterprise, and local authority airports. 

To take part, please visit the Committees website. You can submit evidence until 6 October.
