Question
To ask the Scottish Government what communications the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity has had with trade union representatives from the aviation sector to discuss short-, medium- and long-term support for the sector in the face of COVID-19.
Answer
The Scottish Government has regular meetings with the STUC and unions to discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the transport system including the aviation sector.
I continue to welcome any specific suggestions that trade union representatives may have on additional measures that can be taken by Scottish Ministers now to support the aviation industry in its sustainable recovery.
