Information & Directions - Prestwick Airport
Prestwick Airport (Glasgow Prestwick Airport) was opened in 1934 and by the time of the Second World War had become a major Airport under the lend lease programme, with some 300 aircraft passing through per day! A highlight in 1960 was the one and only visit to UK shores by Elvis Presley en route to Germany, where he was due to be stationed. Prestwick airport faced an uncertain future in the early 90s, but the second half of the decade saw the expansion of the airport, building its own rail link on the existing Glasgow – Ayr route and the rise of no frills, cheap flight airlines using Prestwick as a base. Now re-branded under the controversial logo "Pure, Dead, Brilliant" Prestwick Airport continues to grow and its hopes for the future of handling 3 million passengers a year certainly looks viable.
