PIK

[FlyGLA]

Interesting snippet: Royal Mail says the airport was chosen due to the numerous benefits it offers over alternative airports throughout the UK, including offering up to half of the cost of landing at some UK hubs.

No mention in the article about any additional cargo or mail flights operating into PIK.

The Herald has become a 'cut & paste' newspaper! 'now based at Glasgow Prestwick Airport' more likely 'now stuck at Glasgow Prestwick Airport'

The Pprune thread on this particular subject is very entertaining

Funnily enough as I was passing PIK today I was thinking I’d virtually guarantee this hare brained scheme will never get off the ground. Just like that old scrapper of an A380…

PIK has 5 routes this winter versus 5 at GLA so far. Something tells me that FR are not as high on PIK as a commercial op as all the blustery press releases suggest. Its a pretty skeletal offering.

I know PIK has it's detractors but you can't beat it for variety of aircraft movements.

In the last 2 days, a couple of shortish visits revealed the following:

Big stuff C17, C130H, C130J, P8, A332, A320, B738, A321N, B762

Wee stuff PC12, TBM960

Biz CL350, Gulfstream V

Heligowobblies AW189, AW109

And the star... 51 year old HU-16B Albatross

Apologies wee typo. The Albat first flew in 1951 so it's 73 years old.
