Prestwick Airport Information

This airport is situated on the west coast of Scotland next to the beautiful towns of Ayr and Troon. By using our Prestwick Airport Taxi service you will be in any of our 3 main cities Glasgow in 45 minutes, Stirling in 70 minutes and finally Edinburgh in 90 minutes.

Also referred as Glasgow Prestwick Airport it boasts to having the longest runway north of Manchester and can therefore accommodate all of the largest aircraft flying today. The airport is often host to many large military aircraft who chose this airport to refuel when flying between the middle east and America.

Furthermore some 2.5 million people travel every year to 18 destinations in Spain, Poland, Italy, Portugal and also Malta.

After more than 100 years in operation Prestwick Airport has always struggled to be profitable as a commercial airline base, even in its best years as a main hub airport for both the USA and Canada. These airlines have long moved on to more higher profile main city airports and been replaced at Prestwick by a few low cost airlines.

In 2010 the airport was put on the market after numerous failed attempts by Infratil a shell company owned by Ann Gloag and Stagecoach PLC to turn the airport into a profitable operation. It remained for sale until 2013 when the Scottish Government stepped in and purchased it for £1.00 fearing total closure and the loss of up to 4000 jobs. It remains in government hands today (2020) and although there are still losses of over 2 millions pounds per annum the airport has thrived in certain areas namely its engineering campus that houses many world leading companies such as BAE Systems, Woodward, GE Caledonian & Spirit Aerosystems but to name only a few.

Airport Rail Link

The airport has its own rail station which connects it to Glasgow Central Station and many towns between.
