PIK

When, oh when, will the sale be announced? It’s months now since the election. The silence is deafening.

Told you the sale process was nothing to do with the election.

As others have also previously said the sale process was on ice due to the election. This isn’t a political statement it is a timing issue. We are now in July, nearly August. The silence is deafening.

Another recent comment alluded to the fact that unless PIK is sorted once and for all it bodes I’ll for the future of GLA.

That’s why I raised this issue once again.

So obviously the silence is nothing to do with the May election.

I’m not sure if you think the government think the sale is somehow a vote loser or a political hot potato. I’m certain that the successful conclusion and ultimate salvation of the facility will be welcomed throughout Ayrshire and Scotland when it comes.

Going about my business in Ayr I heard a strange aircraft going past and got quick snap of old smoky.

Think it was on route One of the Canary isles (Gran Canaria maybe?)

Looks like the answer to that question is "nothing to report". Meanwhile, in other news...

Referred to as 'Income related to the provision of specialist aviation services' in PIK's annual accounts (£4,452,000 in 2019/20 as noted in the article, £1,300,000 in 2018/19) - I'm very surprised that the auditor's let management away with that meaningless description in 2019/20 having defined it as 'Windfarm radar mitigation income' in 2018/19

PIK seems to have stopped releasing Minutes of Board Meeting although they were always heavily redacted

PIK working on the old 'any income is good income' avenue. They'll be charging the Met Office soon when the wind is not in a favourable position and calling it a viable proposition.The whole thing should be ceased, bulldozed immediately, but it wont.

I seem to spend half my working life around there these days. There seems to be military transport movements every day as well as the odd Russian freighter. I’ve never seen so many big and smaller Antanovs and Il-76’s in my life. There’s often something doing circuits and there’s the regular Cargolux and Air France heavies.

It’s a specialist facility. I think it would be a sin to bulldoze it. Just close the pax terminal and move the Ryanair base to GLA. Then we can all excel.

Your stance has been consistent for many years on this CB.
However, as long as tarmac and landing lights exist, the Irish dwarf will use it as a bargaining chip against Glasgow.
I want Glasgow to reach the levels it should be capable of. PIK is like fighting a Lion with a Rubber Chicken.

I’m hoping that the new owners will have a new business plan which ditches the costly terminal ops and boosts all of the unique aviation activities that PIK provides for Scotland.
