Glasgow international Airport (EGPF) serves west scotland and a Glasgow. The airport began it's life in 1932 as a HMS air station at Abbotsinch, in 1966 the airport officially opened as a civil airport retaining many of its wartime buildings. Recently the last ‘large’ reminder of it past was demolished when the ‘C’ hanger was removed. The BAA took over in 1975 by which time the runway had been extended to take larger jets. Another major expansion was in 1990 when Prestwick lost it privilege of handling the transatlantic jets and a new International pier was build at Glasgow to take the extra traffic.
Today Glasgow is the busiest of the 3 main Scottish airports with passengers expected to exceed 10 million a year very soon.
