Meanwhile, Glasgow-Prestwick (PIK) is connected via a direct rail link from/to Glasgow Central - yes, it takes 40 minutes (I did it just the other week!), but it's not really any different to getting the train from other airports like SEN, SOU or STN.

Latest figures show about 1000 rail users per week, just more than half the numbers in 18/19. I live on the Glasgow- Ayr train line but I find that sometimes Ryanair departures are too early or arrivals too late to be able to use the train as often as I'd like.

Spot on , unless Ryanair and Scotrail get together and solve the problem , then the early departures and late night arrivals are useless as there are no train connections at those times !

That's 10% of the passenger throughput at PIK which is a very good proportion. Others would envy that.

That said the rail link is undoubtedly a selling point for PIK, I'm surprised more passenger traffic isn't lured to PIK over GLA for that. Wizz still baffles me why they don't use PIK anymore, I'd have thought it a good fit for them.

To avoid this thread from turning into a PIK discussion (sorry, I know I initially started it with my earlier comment...!), I've seen a photo on social media suggesting the new drop off charge starts off at £5.50 for 15mins and then increases by £1 per minute up to £20.50 for just 30 minutes from 14th February - is this actually true?

Many unhappy staff at GLA this morning, hunting for free spaces in the new staff car park (only 600 staff spaces in the Long Stay car park to replace about 800) and having to wait for the buses that only run every 15 minutes. And of course the final sting in the tail, extra queuing at security as a bus load of staff all arrive at security at the same time. A lot of people saying it’s the final straw and looking to get a better paid job elsewhere.
I hope AGS make lots of money from their new Mid-Stay car park, they’ve certainly royally p*ssed off everyone who works there.

Not sure why you would use 2002 as the baseline. Although it amplifies your main point, the industry was still in a real mess with the aftermath of 9/11 just a few months earlier. It’s probably one of the worst comparators that you could choose.
