Support the Aviation Sector

Better financial support is needed in the aviation sector. Save jobs especially those people who are under 25 needs to be prioritised. The impact on jobs and people in this sector has not been acknowledged or considered. This needs urgent action to preserve skilled individuals.

Why the contribution is important

Save jobs. Save livelihoods. Will save more lives

    Traffic levels are down to 35% of 2019. They have been this way for months. The airline industry needs a viable strategy to allow it to provide the vital service it needs to survive.

    This sector has been particularly hard hit by the restrictions on travel. If we want an aviation sector to exist in the future, when COVID just becomes part of the many potential infections that already exist, then it needs Government support now.

    I am afraid I don't see the aviation sector as a priority. Scotland has been vocal about promoting a wellbeing and green economy. This will involve us all giving up some things, and I would say to promote a green economy that includes giving up so many (cheap) flights. We have seen how the people of Scotland can act differently, work and live closer to home, in covid and this is something we can build on for a more sustainable future.

    Pippa202 that does not make sense. Air traffic cannot stop because of green economy. You probably live in your bubble and will never go outside Scotland. Travelling is important to reach families and friends and to discover other cultures to open your mind. The industry is working on more efficient and green aircraft, but you cannot say that people will have to be stuck in a country because of green economy. Absolutely no sense and absolutely no sustainable future in this for sure.

    Completely disagree! If at the end of 2019 when this was all
    Starting we stopped all international travel for a couple of months we would not be in this position. The aviation industry caused this and can quit their poor me whinging.
