this report from Audit Scotland published last week says "
Prestwick Airport is currently assessing expressions of interest in purchasing the airport. No date has been set to complete the sale, but Transport Scotland anticipates that a sale may be achievable by the end of 2019/20".
When they say "
that a sale may be achievable by the end of 2019/20" that, to me, suggests that they are now looking at a possible sale by the end of the fiscal year 2019/20 which would be around the end of Q1 next year. The wording also suggests that a sale is by no means certain and neither is the timing.
