Scotland will never have the range or frequency of destination that LHR has, of course if Scotland did abolish APD post a yes vote or following more devolved powers after a no vote, then you could fly pretty much anywhere in the world from Scotland without paying APD routing through London Heathrow, transit passengers from other countries do not pay APD.

So i would expect the volume on the LHR shuttles to increase for both BA & VS, but i don't really see many new destinations ex Scotland direct.

Will Scotland keep +44 for international telephone calls or need a new country code? a £ or 2 in reprinting
