Paragraph: 26
Aviation connectivity from isolated communities in Scotland is a necessity.
Conclusion
Aviation connectivity from isolated communities in Scotland is a necessity. Lifeline services are essential for the transport of essential supplies, for the movement of people for medical appointments and key personnel in the energy industry as well as to support a thriving business community and to grow international exports from Scotland. We have heard about the perceived conflict with net zero ambitions and keeping isolated communities in Scotland connected to lifeline services, but we are aware of the variety of steps being taken to move towards a carbon neutral aviation and that these steps will not necessarily restrict connectivity.
Government response summary AI-generated
