It is therefore not for the Department to carry out this type of assessment, nor to comment on whether there is sufficient competition.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>I can, however, confirm that CAA data for 2018 shows that the four largest airports in Scotland (Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow) have flights to two or more airports in the London system, with flights operated by multiple airlines.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>In addition, the UK Government, in partnership with the Scottish Government and Dundee City Council, provide financial support for an air route from Dundee to <del class=\"ministerial\">Stanstead,<\/del> <ins class=\"ministerial\">Stansted<\/ins> through a public service obligation. Scotland will also benefit from an expanded Heathrow, where there will be further opportunity to enhance connections to the country\u2019s biggest hub airport.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>This information, which is already in the public domain, shows that there is sufficient competition for air routes between London and Scotland.<\/p>"}
