PIK

Don’t see PIK-MRS on the app but PSA is an away based aircraft twice a week so it could easily have come to GLA instead. So maybe you are right. Maybe GLA have blown it big time.

I got the impression when we talked about it a couple of weeks ago you had some inside info that was positive, but maybe I was reading too much into what you were saying?

I tend to think that the 'Glasgow' quoted was always Glasgow Prestwick

That's certainly not impossible, but given the PIK flights being off sale for quite a while I'd tend to suspect that at least talks were going on with GLA.

No, you’re right. I was checking every hour a couple of weeks ago, expecting good news. Looks like we have lost our last remaining hope.

We really need is a buy out , change of direction .. Our current status is poor .. we can't blame brexit , covid or any other excuse anymore .

Always has been the owners / management team to blame imho. Only slight buck to that trend was when Amanda Macillan was at the helm.

Agree 100% mate but who's gonna buy it? It's running as fast as it can just to stand still.

Nobody knows at the moment.

Maybe however if you are Glasgow, and you have persuaded Ryanair to move up the road, you want that announcement to be made once the new CEO has taken over to give him momentum in the job, rather than the outgoing guy getting all the credit.

No, I was just putting forward an explanation as to why if you were Glasgow you would want the new boss to get the credit.

IMHO Glasgow has missed the boat with Ryanair for this summer with regards to a base. There is probably still opportunities for new routes but not as many as a base would bring.

A man has died after falling at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

Police were called to the airport around 12:10pm on Wednesday, January 11, to a report of a man falling.

Emergency services also attended. Sadly, a 59-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports suggest the man was an employee at Prestwick Airport and fell from a hydraulic platform while a cargo plane was being unloaded.

Police said there are no apparent suspicious circumstances into the death and that a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called around 12.10pm on Wednesday, 11 January, to a report of a man falling at Prestwick Airport.

“Emergency services attended and the 59-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

“There are no apparent suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”

An interesting report in today’s Herald. Audit Scotland claim that government funding has cost the Scottish taxpayer over £31m and that many millions more would be required to sustain the airport in public ownership. An agreement between airport directors and the SG sees no interest or capital repayment until March 2024 which will enable the airport to continue operations for at least the next twelve months.

I can’t quote the whole article however maybe someone can copy a link to read the full article.

AuditsScotland say it is not clear that SG intervention has provided value for tax payers monies.
