Prestwick welcomes 10,000,000th passenger

The end of July saw Prestwick's 10,000,000th passenger pass through its gates.

The passenger, who was checking in to fly to Murcia with Ryanair, was surprised to be told that she was the 10,000,000th passenger, and was presented with a goodie bag and bottle of champagne - along with her travelling companion.

Passenger figures soar

Passenger numbers were up 15% in June this year, compared to June 2004.

The overall figures show that the passenger numbers are up by 10% for the year.

Polish connections

November 2005 will see the commencement of services between Glasgow Prestwick airport and Krakow, Poland.

The service, which will operate three times a week, is to be one of the few services flying direct to Krakow from the UK, meaning that it is expected to be popular.
