I sincerely hope that Prestwick Airport survives the current recession (a lot of which I believe is media hype) and goes from strength to strength. As I have said before, if the airport was to close it would take away choice for the consumer and possibly increase the cost of flying although I notice that Ryanair's "taxes and charges" for Prestwick Airport are quite high. I would really like to see another major airline at Prestwick but I wonder what are the chances of that happening.
