Glasgow Prestwick Airport - Airport information

Airport information Glasgow Prestwick International Airport was thought to have begun around 1934 with a few planes using 'the Meadows' at the end of Monkton Village although there is now evidence to support much earlier aircraft activity in or around 1913. In 1935 David McIntyre set up Scottish Aviation Ltd and acquired land just behind Orangefield House in order to develop a training airfield. He created a hangar for Tiger Moth bi-planes, offices, lecture rooms and a small control tower. This was interrupted by the WW II when the site developed into a major airport with 300 American aircraft arriving on some days for onward delivery under the Lend Lease programme. At this time Scottish Aviation Ltd began aircraft production on the site and many famous aircraft types were built at Prestwick including the BAe Jetstream which only ceased production in 1998.
After the war Orangefield House, originally built in 1690, became the main terminal building with the control tower being constructed on its roof. This was demolished in 1966 to make way for a new taxiway although its maple floor was used in the Aviator Suite function room in the present terminal building.
In 1958 plans were announced for a new terminal building, freight building, runway extension, control tower and loop road around the airport. The new control tower was completed in April 1962 and the present terminal building was opened by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother in September 1962. Despite its illustrious past many people will remember the airport for Elvis Presley's visit in 1960.
In April 2001 Glasgow Prestwick Airport saw one million passengers use the airport in the preceding 12 months and in May 2004 it hit the two million limit for the first time confirming it as the fastest growing airport in Scotland. This expansion is likely to continue as they attempt to become Scotland's third-busiest airport and to reach four million passengers by the end of the decade.
