TBH it won’t be much fun in Spain at the mo. That’s why there’s so few flights across the board between Scotland and Spain. Can’t see much happening this side of Xmas.

Well the Tory quoted in the article was demanding redundancies given the industry’s plight. Luckily for the people of Ayrshire the SNP are in charge and not the Tories.

Anyway, interesting to hear there may be other interested parties and that those are not military or house builders.

Wouldn’t be surprised if GIP/EDI do it just to rub it in the noses of AGS/GLA.

Whats this claptrap about Tories? do you advocate that every job should be saved? That the state should fund bankrupt/inefficient companies? Thats almost Orwellian. If its friar tucked. And it is. Throw it in the sea. Great when the state pays your wages and your employer is basically trading illegally. ( without Funding) . A complete clusterfuck .

Couldn’t agree more! Prestwick is a sacred cow which no Ayrshire politician will look at without wearing rose coloured spectacles. It’s finest hours were in the 707/DC8 super sixty era.

Just think how much that £44 million could have helped improve GLA,EDI, ABZ, INV or even be poured into an enterprise zone around GLA over the past for decades!

GLA is getting a multi million pound enterprise zone around it.

Anyhoo, we can’t discuss politics but generally speaking, saving industries and moreover national infrastructure assets like a specialist aerodrome such as PIK is normally seen as a good thing for governments to do.

So we’ll see how the land lies financially and otherwise once it finally gets sold.

It’s only the terminal pax ops that I have a negative view on and hopefully so will the new owners.
