The Scottish Government are yet to announce rates for their new Air Departure Tax (ADT). The UK government will closely monitor any effects of rate changes in Scotland on UK airports, and as announced at Autumn Statement 2016, the government has committed to reviewing ways of supporting English airports from any effects of Air Passenger Duty devolution once the UK has withdrawn from the European Union.
