I fail to understand why we need Prestwick Airport.
Prestwick Airport used to be the airport for transatlantic flights from Scotland. My mother and father flew from Prestwick Airport to Vancouver in July 1985 for a holiday.
However Prestwick Airport is now a ‘white elephant’ as transatlantic flights depart from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
In my opinion the Scottish Government purchased the loss making Prestwick Airport on 22nd November 2013 because Alex Salmond wanted Prestwick Airport to be renamed Alex Salmond Prestwick International Airport to keep upsides with George Best Belfast City Airport and John Lennon Liverpool Airport.
