Well, the end of May will soon be upon us and Mr Py will have his report to make to the Scottish Government on Prestwick. This could well be very key to the future of Prestwick Airport as we know it.
In my opinion there is a future for Prestwick to continue as a passenger airport, IF, the cost base can be properly managed and allows the airport to return to generating profits, but this will be difficult to do without GLA and EDI playing the state aid card.
I don't see any real negativity here, just some realism over passenger operations. However there are other ways for PIK to generate income, through cargo, GA, training, property etc but these also have to be managed in the right way and made appealing to parties that might be interested.
Certainly over the next few months there could be some painful decisions made, that will not please everyone but may be better for the airport in the long run.
