That this House congratulates Glasgow Airport, one of Europe's fastest growing airports, on its busiest May in seven years, after seeing 785,063 passengers travel through the airport last month; notes that this increase of 13.3 per cent in passenger travel has secured Glasgow Airport's 27th consecutive month of growth; further notes that the airport's success in May follows their busiest April on record; recognises the hard work of all of the staff at Glasgow Airport in securing this unprecedented growth; and supports the Scottish Government's commitment to cut Air Passenger Duty by 50 per cent, a reduction that will create nearly 4,000 jobs, add £1 billion to the Scottish economy by 2020 and support Scotland's airports to go from strength to strength.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
