PIK

That's great news for the airport and local employment. PIK should be doing so much more of this type of business, ditch the terminal, and make some money.

It's profitable with the terminal, so why should they ditch it?

Profitable to who though? FR? Weatherspoons? Mrs.Miggins's cake shop? My point being that they could make so much more from other types of business, such as what was posted previously and a whole lot more. If they do turn a profit with pax,I doubt it could be that much.

I’ve said it for years. Engineering/maintenance, cargo and a paint shop. If EMA and EXT can manage it and make a success of this then why can’t PIK.

EXT and EMA both have their passenger operations.

What bearing does that have on PIK? EMA is the largest cargo airport in the UK by far and has a training centre (originally OrionAirways then Britannia now Ryanair).

It also had something many regional airports had the HQ of a charter airline.something that Glasgow never secured.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport has returned a £3.2m operating profit for the year 2023-24.

With revenue streams spanning passenger travel, cargo operations, general aviation, fuel supply and property, the financial update stated that diversification has driven performance in recent years.

The airport continues to service passengers, with its long-term relationship with Ryanair and a new five-year agreement for passenger services, resulting in a new winter route this year and an increase in the frequency of flights next summer.

Just think of the possibilities if they got rid of the passenger terminal!

Btw just looking at today's departures from PIK. Am I missing something, but it doesn't look like there are any flights at all departing today, or at all on Tuesdays throughout the winter bar some peak christmas/new year increases.

The offering from FR in the West is just so depressing. This should be a 3/4 based aircraft op at GLA. Get that terminal bulldozed.

It's a disappointing reflection on GLA Management that the forum's only hope for securing a Ryanair base seems to be by demolishing another airport. How did Scotland's busiest airport get into such a sorry state!
