​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.

Im not sure now if we’re coming or going? So are any PIK S23 routes on and available to book?

Staying. Everything is now back on sale and available to book.

How much is "everything"? Two aircraft base?

Everything = all the destinations served from Prestwick now have flights bookable for summer 23. CBA to check if it's still two aircraft but looks about right. Some away-based flying too though.

PSA and MRS added for S23 to be operated by away-based aircraft:

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.

Wait till the Scottish 'editions' of the RW London press/commentariat get hold of it.... :rolleyes:

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...

Ryanair launches new flights from Prestwick to Marseilles and Pisa starting from April 2023. Two aircraft based at PIK.

These flights were announced on the 23rd Dec. Post 89 above

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

That's me - first with the news! :D

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?

​​​​​​​Needed most of the PIK runway, or chose to use most of it? Big difference. Unlikely it was fully fuelled from EDI or at MTOW anyway.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The aircraft only had an engine shutdown, it wasn't on fire. So, in the event of PIK not being available, the crew would reasonably have had time to stay airborne to select a suitable landing runway or even would have been justified to firstly lose some fuel weight nearby if they thought they'd be tight in stopping at EDI or even GLA.

PIK's long runway nearby gives added contingency but are we really saying that this flight could not have safely landed at either GLA or EDI? PIK is a really nice to have but crash landing in the river was not the other option.
