Effect of Scottish independence on Scottish aviation?
Can't see it being discussed anywhere else on PRUNE, but what impact do we think Scottish independence might have on Scottish aviation?
What might be the implications on matters such as the relationship with EASA, UK CAA oversight, border controls, Schengen, APD, other tax regimes, import duties, VAT, fuel pricing. Could there be a Scottish aircraft register? Would there be a need for that?
Would operators opt to base HQs outside of Scotland for tax, operational or legislative benefits?
Seem to be quite a lot of unanswered questions on this front.
Anyone got any answers?!
