Decarbonising aviation can see Scottish economy flying high
New report finds absence of connectivity strategy will threaten prosperity and net zero targets
Aviation connectivity is vital for Scotland’s economy, and reducing flights would be detrimental, a new academic report warns.
The report – authored by Professor Duncan MacLennan, Emeritus Professor of Urban Economics at the University of Glasgow and commissioned by Edinburgh Airport – concludes that Scotland must deploy a strategic and integrated policy approach to achieve net zero targets in aviation. In doing so, Scotland has the potential to accelerate its just transition and attract investment in the production of renewable and sustainable aviation fuel.
