Where are you seeing this? The app and the website still don't show any mainland Spain flights (or PMI) just FAO and the Canaries, which has been the case for a few days at least.

Regardless of what they do at GLA, if the final schedule is further diminshed down to whats in the booking engine currently, then surely it would be worth their while to just flatten the terminal and repurpose the land for other uses? Everyone knows what makes money and what loses it there.

That building probably costs little to run and so even mothballing or halving internal size might still be worthwhile with a skeleton staff for any charters and military flights. The much hyped SpaceSport could maybe use part of it ? (though if it ever does come, they’ll probably want some space age dome new building).
Though suspect building overall an asbestos and health and safety nightmare.

PIK S23
When I discovered the Lanzarote/Canaries flights were again listed, out of curiosity I checked the Palma & Alicante schedules and both had
a S23 schedule - now disappeared. Apologies for the dis-information.

Much anguish in the press and from the usual suspects in the past few days about Prestwick's finances.
Meanwhile it is reported in the Telegraph that "Every passenger on Nicola Sturgeon's Caledonian Sleeper
costs the taxpayer 95 pounds. The total subsidy since 2014 is 174 million pounds"
Strange that there has been no equivalent outrage ..... or perhaps not.
Makes Prestwick seem like a bargain.

Can anyone confirm (outwith rag headlines) if PIK was formally taken off the market after last botched offload and potential AGS sale and is back on or remains off? Asking for a friend…
Depending on your definition of which newspaper is a 'rag' the latest l have seen is that PIK is still up for sale.
Earlier this week the Herald was quoting SNP minister for fantasy finance and woo woo business ideas, Ivan McKee as saying that the Scottish government is still seeking a buyer. Make of that what you will...

Indeed. The more significant announcement this week was another 200 jobs for PAML:

Passing PIK today I noticed the Delta 767 is still there and I am assuming it probably will be for a while. It got me thinking
if Prestwick hadn't been available - or a housing estate as some would like - what other options would the crew have had?
It overflew Glasgow and apparently needed almost the full length of Prestwick's runway before stopping.
A highly flammable fully fuelled aircraft - ditch in the Clyde perhaps?
