Industry leaders from the Scottish aviation and aerospace industry are meeting the regulator this week.
The Civil Aviation Authority wants to understand what is being done across the sector to maintain high levels of safety, improve the passenger experience and create a more sustainable future.
Meetings with Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, Loganair and others form part of the authority’s engagement with industry across the UK.
The two-day visit from today (Tuesday) will see discussions on progress made by the two airports on sustainability, innovation and the investment being made to improve the passenger experience.
How Loganair is supporting regional connectivity is also on the agenda.
Those attending include CAA chair Sir Stephen Hillier, joint-Interim chief executives Paul Smith and Rob Bishton, along with board members.
Sir Stephen said: “The UK’s aviation and airspace sectors is moving to a more sustainable future, with Scotland playing its part to reduce carbon emissions with the use of new innovations and technology, ultimately to help improve the passenger experience.
“It is a truly exciting time, especially in the UK space sector here in Scotland, but it is our role to support the aviation and aerospace sector to be safe, sustainable and successful.
“We’re engaging with the sector we regulate throughout the whole of the UK to hear first-hand how we can help it to continue to thrive safely in the future for the benefit of consumers.”
