Call for Air Passenger Duty to be included in Scotland Bill

Scotland’s largest airports have joined together to demand that the UK Government devolves its Air Passenger Duty (APD) to the Scottish Government as part of the Scotland Bill.

The Calman Commission recommended the devolution of APD as part of the Scotland Bill and the Scottish Government has supported this.   However as the UK Government is consulting on changes to aviation duty it has not yet been included in the Scotland Bill.
