So, Aer Arann are off to Glasgow's other airport. How many passenegers per annum are we talking here, 15,000 a year perhaps. This can be made up by just one FR return flight a week operating at a load factor of 80%. Not nice to lose any airline but PIK has been here before and will bounce back I'm sure. Anyway nice of BAA PR Department to recognise 'Glasgow Prestwick'. Bit of a gaff there if you ask me.
Well BAA cant deny that PIK is a Glasgow Airport. If they did that, they would have to say LHR and STN are not London Airports. Although Amanda McWhats her name has tried to get a pathetic wee dig in.

Amanda McMillan, Managing Director of Glasgow Airport, said: "...We are pleased to welcome Aer Arann to Glasgow's airport,
Over all, I think 2010 looks bright for Glasgow Prestwick. Going by announcements made at both airports, it looks like PIK will carry a far higher share of the Glasgow market this year.
