- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has had discussions with (a) Edinburgh Airport and (b) the Civil Aviation Authority on Edinburgh Airport's application for new flight paths over Fife.
- Answer
-
This Government recognises that the aviation industry is a major contributor to the economy, bringing people together and showing the world Britain is open for business, and ministers have regular meetings with stakeholders right across the aviation and aerospace sectors to discuss what we can do to enable them to thrive.
Proposals for airspace change are handled by the UK’s independent airspace and safety regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which has its own airspace change process.
