Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it is aware of any proposal by Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd to withdraw security screening at Tiree Airport.
Answer
Aviation security is reserved to the UK Government. We are not aware of any proposal to withdraw security screening at Tiree Airport. Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd complies with current security requirements and will continue to do so, working with the relevant UK regulatory authorities and Loganair to provide security based upon assessed risks.
