Next year, we will introduce Air Departure Tax to replace Air Passenger Duty in Scotland.
Flights between airports in the Highlands and Islands and other Scottish airports will be exempt to help improve national connectivity.
A Private Jet Tax will follow from April 2028.

The Scottish Government will introduce Air Departure Tax from 1 April 2027, with a Private Jet Supplement.
We will soon launch a consultation and undertake engagement to gather views from all interested parties.

As part of the 2026-27 Scottish Budget, the date for the implementation of Air Departure Tax has been announced as 1 April 2027. Air Departure Tax (ADT) is a wholly devolved tax that replaces the Air Passenger Duty (APD) in Scotland.

The view from GFT in 1975 — the year after we were founded — to today!
And it hasn’t seen a lick of paint since.
These two views at Anniesland station were taken a year apart. The first shows the dismantling of the old bridge in 1936, while the second shows the new bow string bridge by Sir William Arrol & Co nearing completion in 1937.
