Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-29596 by Michael Matheson on 17 June 2020, whether it will confirm which community groups were consulted as part of the islands impact assessment being carried out for Highlands and Islands Airports Limited’s (HIAL) Air Traffic Management Strategy.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this information. Engagement with community groups was undertaken by the independent consultant who is drafting the retrospective Islands Impact Assessment. Neither HIAL nor the Scottish Government were party to the community engagement and consultation phase of the Assessment and do not hold information on which community groups were consulted.
