“Robust, thriving airports are a key driver in creating growth through new connectivity, the opening of new markets, connecting rural communities, and increasing competition that benefits consumers.

“AirportsUK will now work with Scottish ministers and officials to develop deliverable policies and actions to ensure Scotland continues to benefit, both internationally and domestically, from aviation and the opportunities that it provides.”
