A list of the potential exemptions that the Government will consider, if sufficient evidence is provided, are listed below:

flights from the highlands and islands – the Government will consider
making this an exemption from aviation duty, as it is from APD, but this
will be subject to EU state aids clearance;
emergency services – air ambulance, search and rescue;
public services – police, fire, customs, any flights that may involve the
aerial application of fire suppressing retardant, humanitarian relief flights;
training flights – flights specifically used to gain a pilot’s licence and not to maintain flight skills, where there may be multiple take-offs

Am I missing something here?
