Prestwick Airport (PIK) is the second airport for the City of Glasgow, Scotland. and is situated 29 miles south west of the city on the Ayrshire Coast.

In 1991 the newly privatised British Airports Authority (BAA) consolidated their portfolio of U.K airports. Part of this was to move all transatlantic traffic departing from Scotland to Glasgow's main airport near Paisley, and sell Prestwick off to the private sector. In the early to mid 1990's, only freight traffic and a small number of charter flights used Prestwick on a regular basis, and the airport faced an uncertain future.
