While Prestwick Aviation Services currently operates from a 4,300-sq-ft prefab structure at Scotland's Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the airport-operated FBO expects to relocate to a new, larger purpose-built terminal in the next year or so.

Prestwick, Scotland is widely recognized as the birthplace of golf. The town on the southwest coast of the country is home to several world-class courses, one of which—Royal Troon—will once again play host to one of the sport’s marquee events, the British Open Championship this month.

For Prestwick Aviation Services, the airport-operated FBO at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), this will mean a surge in private aviation traffic as the tournament’s host airport. “Golf is a very important driver for business at Prestwick,” said Kris Baillie, the airport’s business development manager for general aviation and military. “We see a lot of business aviation year-round.”
