Save Scotland’s Airports

  • Submitted by: Colin Smyth, South Scotland, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 24 July 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22313

That the Parliament recognises the value of the civil aviation sector to Scotland's economy; is concerned at the analysis by the Fraser of Allander Institute, which suggests that the loss of 1,500 jobs in the sector would result in the loss of 2,330 jobs in total, and a subsequent £140 million loss to the wider economy; commends the work of everyone in the sector throughout this unprecedented period; welcomes the Saves Scotland’s Airports campaign by Unite the Union; urges the Scottish Government to reiterate its commitment to supporting the sector’s recovery and to work with trade unions and other stakeholders to agree a set of interventions to support it, but believes that any future support must be conditional on the protection of jobs and the safeguarding of terms and conditions of employment in line with the Fair Work principles.
