Scotland compared to peer regions
Scotland's air network has been benchmarked against UK and European peer regions and countries that share similar characteristics in terms of the economy, population, geographic position, size and level of air services.[10]
In 2008 Scotland was ranked 10th out of the 12 peer regions for short haul destinations and joint 6th for long haul. In 2019 Scotland was ranked 8th out of the 12 peer regions for short haul, with the largest percentage increase overall. However, the number of unique long haul destinations from Scotland did not increase as much as for peers such as Catalonia, as shown in the table below:
