The new study, carried out by the Aviation Cross Party Group (Aviation CPG), will be presented to the authority and calls for the creation of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry in Scotland, supported by the government and the Scottish National Investment Bank.

It also calls for investment in research and development of zero emission flight technology and grant funding to allow airports to prepare infrastructure to support hydrogen and electric flight.
