This will be the 5th 'serious' bid since 2020 with the previous 4 bids being rejected due to the bidders being unable to guarantee future pax operations as well as the continued use of runway 21/03 supposedly. As usual I'm sure that these historical bids will have eyed up the potential for property development so it will be interesting to see how far this latest bid goes. As mentioned by a previous poster the present management board and staff have to be congratulated on turning the airfield's fortunes around albeit based on the profits being made predominantly on military fuel and tech stops. However the present conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East will not end anytime soon and even if hostilities were to stop tomorrow there will be years of reparations meaning Prestwick will stay play an important support role for many years to come. Prestwick was founded, and has always thrived on conflicts, and whilst I'm sure everyone would not wish this to be the case, this is reality. However, the present management need to be working on a profitable model that works beyond military operations. The opening of the Spaceport will not do it alone so the next few years will be interesting - as is ever the case with Prestwick!
