The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many air routes subsidised under the Interim Route Development Fund have encouraged more inward visits to Scotland than outward visits from Scotland.
The answer
The Interim RouteDevelopment Fund (IRDF) can invest in new direct air routes which improvebusiness connectivity, enhance inward investment prospects and encouragein-bound tourism. All new routes, on which offers of investment have been made,have been evaluated as having satisfied one or more of these objectives. Theroutes which have been subject to investment will be fully evaluated againafter a full year of operation to enable a reasonable and objective analysis of the fund’s impact.
