So if the terminal was closed with all the savings that could make would the airport breakeven?

Unlike the airports that surround London that are at a similar distance from the City they claim to serve Prestwick lacks a large local population to partially sustain it and where Prestwick is their most convenient airport.

The sad truth is that again unlike London, Glasgow does not need more than one airport so what is the point of keeping it open for passengers with the extra costs that involves when there are next to no passengers going to be using it?

I visited Prestwick maybe around 4 years ago and really liked its old fashion feel about it but then I am an old timer. Even if the old terminal was knocked down and some smaller modern terminal was built would it make any sort of difference to passenger totals?
