It has been brought to our attention that Lufthansa is refusing to carry firearms and shotguns on flights into Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Heathrow airports, regardless of whether passengers hold the necessary visitor permits; this would appear to be a commercial decision for Lufthansa and does not result from Scottish Government or UK Government policy.

BASC Scotland and SCSTG are working to resolve this issue but in the meantime anyone wishing to travel to Scotland for country sports should be aware, check with their airline and if necessary make alternative arrangements.
