I like his optimism regarding freight, and to give him his due he seems to have used his contacts well.

His comments about passenger ops are laughable. He talks up this so called half a million Ayrshire and D&G population area. This would be an area that is economically stagnant, plus its fairly inaccurate. Areas like Dumfries have better access to GLA than PIK. Half a million for a so called regional airport is hardly much to boast about. Its significantly less than the catchment of smaller airports like BOH, EXT, SOU, NWI.

If Prestwick has a future it is not running commercial ops. Two flights again today as with many other days in Winter. More staff than passengers. Give it up.

I guess its a start though, something resembling semi sensible business aims coming from the airport.
