Prestwick International Airport

Glasgow Prestwick Airport is an international airport serving Glasgow, situated north of the town of Prestwick in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Although officially called Glasgow Prestwick Airport, because it is 46 km (29 miles) from the city, it is often referred to as just Prestwick Airport. The last ten years has seen unprecedented growth in passenger traffic using the airport driven, in the main, by the boom in no-frills airlines, especially from Ryanair who use the airport as a hub. In 2006, Prestwick handled nearly 2.4 million passengers.
