The Trump Organization and Glasgow Prestwick Airport Announce Official Partnership | Glasgow Prestwick Airport
Maybe he'll invest some money on redecorating the passenger terminal.

False reporting going on here. Resulting in more negativity. What mr trump plans do is base his 757 and helicopter at prestwick airport. Also attract private flights from usa and the rest of the world to PIK and then onto trump turnberry golf course. Aircraft such as gulf stream , bombardiers and others over the next few years resulting in.prestwick handling hundreds of flights.
Its ALL POSITIVE people.... Cmon..Things can only get BETTER..

Do we know exactly what he is doing?
Will the 757 and helicopter be stored in the 747 hangar when not in use?
Have they leased that on a long term deal?
What are the financial terms of the deal to bring Trump Aviation to Prestwick?
However, I would say at least it is something positive for PIK

Just as well Trump has found out that Prestwick is quite close to Turnberry because all those golfers in private jets previously flew in to Aldergrove, took the bus to Belfast, got on the ferry to Ardrossan and hitched a lift down the road past Prestwick. 
So long as they haven't paid too high a price, can't do PIK any harm to be associated with Turnberry even if it is just as one of Trumps "preferred partners".
Might not be much but at least it is something positive which may help generate some additional traffic.

I think the Press & Journal encapsulated the essence of this announcement by claiming that it would be good for Aberdeen because it would mean golfers would fly into Prestwick and then be helicoptered to the Trump Menie Resort.
I was gonna say you couldn't make it up but of course Trump just did.

So Trump invests lots of dollars in a golf course - fine.
Then he doesn't invest in Prestwick airport, but starts a partnership instead.
So, does he get discounted rates on his fees?
And any private jet golfing user who wants to play Turnberry would land at Prestwick anyway, whether there was any partnership or not... wouldn't they?
I can see how DT is better off, but how is the Scottish tax payer any better off for this partnership? Turnberry and Prestwick airport were there last week too.
