Attacks or assaults on anybody, regardless of whether they are employed at an airport or not, are an offence and should be reported to the Police. There have been no recent discussions. The Scottish Government does not hold information on how many attacks on publicly and privately employed airport staff in the last 10 years have been classified as having taken place in a public place.

Emissions from private jets departing from Scotland’s airports are captured in Scottish source emissions as reported in ‘Scottish greenhouse gas statistics’, the most recent version of which covers 2021 and was published in June 2023. Estimated emissions from aviation are based on data provided by the CAA and, for overseas territories, the UK Department for Transport.

There is no provision for exemption or compensation for key workers travelling into a Low Emission Zone (LEZ). However, Transport Scotland provides grant funding to support lower income households and smaller businesses to adapt to Low Emission Zones via the LEZ Support Fund. In return for scrapping non-LEZ standard cars, a cash grant of £2000 is received, and a further allowance of up to £1000 per household or business towards sustainable travel costs.
