    The Scottish Government is undertaking two public consultations relating to Air Departure Tax (ADT):

    Consultation 1: On the Scottish Government’s policy for an overall 50% ADT reduction by the end of the current session of the Scottish Parliament;

    Consultation 2: On an assessment of the likely significant environmental impacts from the overall 50% ADT reduction policy (Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report).

    Closes 15 Sep 2017

    Not directly related to cycling, but the £150 million of "lost tax" could instead be used to create comprehensive safe cycle networks for both Edinburgh and Glasgow.

    The SNP’s plans to cut air taxes in Scotland are not supported by the public, according to a poll showing that a majority of people would prefer ministers focused on improving public transport.
