Went past and had my first good look at the Terminal. It appears to be in need of some improvements .
And never noticed until today how close the Railway OLE masts are to the approach lights.
In contrast to yesterday's view I had of GLA.
Now im all for small regional airports succeeding.
But The huge poster I noticed at Pik on the wall of the Terminal. GLASGOW AIRPORT. Then in really small text , (Prestwick) or West. Something like that anyway.
Coupled with a building that must be in need of Tlc cant be doing much for its appeal.
And yet despite all the anti PIK mob on here. Having driven from Ayr via Kilmarnock and on up to the road that brings you almost to the end of GLAs runway. You realise what a ball ache that trip is either before or after a holiday.
Somehow someone is missing a trick there. Railway station. Right outside. D2 roads linking far and wide.
Why isnt it attracting more tour operator's.
Or for example Links air could copy the loco idea of using it as Glasgow airport. And then open up regional links around the uk.
Is there any masterplan?.
Also do the fly to BHD
