Conclusion
Scottish Airports told us that they welcomed the reduction in Air Passenger Duty but would like to have seen this take place in 2022 rather than waiting for its introduction in 2023. However, we recognise the operational issues that carriers would have experienced due to length of time it takes to implement these changes. (Paragraph 57) Airports in Scotland 25
Government Response Not Addressed
HM Government Not Addressed
The Government has already introduced a package of APD reforms that will bolster air connectivity within the Union with a 50% cut in domestic APD, which will particularly benefit regional airports who tend to account for a greater proportion of domestic flights.
