Here are the business stories making the headlines across Scotland and the UK this morning.
Gatwick worst for delays among UK airports
Gatwick has retained its position as the UK's worst airport for flight delays, as it continues to suffer from air traffic control (ATC) disruption, data shows.
Departures from the West Sussex airport, which mainly serves London, were an average of more than 23 minutes behind schedule in 2024, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data.
This is an improvement from nearly 27 minutes during the previous 12 months - but is still longer than at any other UK airport.
DHL suspends high value US deliveries over tariffs
DHL Express is suspending deliveries to the US worth more than $800 (£603) because of a "significant increase" in red tape at customs following the introduction of Donald Trump's new tariff regime.
The delivery giant said it will temporarily stop shipments from companies in all countries to American consumers on Monday "until further notice".
It added that business-to-business shipments will still go ahead, "though they may also face delays".
Big rise in mortgage completions to beat stamp duty deadline
Mortgage completions jumped by 50% in March, the highest increase in more than three years, as homebuyers raced to beat the deadline for stamp duty breaks.
The increase in the volume of completions was even higher for first-time buyers, which were up 70% compared with February, according to an analysis of Barclays lending data.
From April 1 first-time buyers in England and Northern Ireland have paid stamp duty on property prices of £300,000, down from £425,000. For other homebuyers the threshold at which buyers begin to pay the tax has dropped from £250,000 to £125,000.
