Very Important Notice: Continuation of the Air Discount Scheme
You will be aware that the Scottish Government’s Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change, Stewart Stevenson, announced in January the intention to continue the Air Discount Scheme.
The Minister’s announcement was predicated on the European Commission providing its approval for the Scheme to run for another 3 year period until 31 March 2011 at the existing discount rate of 40% of the core air fare.
We are pleased to confirm that this approval has now been received and that we are now beginning the process of issuing new membership cards. Please get in touch with the ADS team on 0800 032 2890 if you have not received your new card by 24th March 2008.
Your new card should be used for booking discounted flights from 1 April 2008. Your existing membership card should be used up to that date. Your existing pin number can continue to be used from 1 April.
I hope you enjoy accessing the benefits of the Air Discount Scheme over the next 3 years. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Air Discount Scheme Team on 0800 032 2890 .
If the membership card is no longer required, please contact the Team and we will update our membership database accordingly.

The Scottish Government’s Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change, Stewart Stevenson, has today announced to the Scottish Parliament his intention to continue the Air Discount Scheme for a further period of 3 years.
The analysis has also identified large reductions in average journey times for ADS members, as well as broad satisfaction with the Scheme’s administration. From the analysis, it is clear that the Scheme has performed very effectively and Ministers have concluded that it should continue.
Officials will now begin the process of securing approval from the European Commission for the Scheme to run for another 3 years at the existing discount rate of 40% of the core fare.
Provided there are no concerns from the Commission, we would hope to be in a position to issue new membership cards to existing members during February and March.
Members should however continue to use their existing membership cards to book discounted flights until the current Scheme ends on 31 March.
The News Release is available at the Scottish Government’s website.
