Cheers 😀

Same here on both threads.

That’s why you must never smoke in the toilets !

How did the plane at Meigs Field manage to avoid the huge X shaped ditches Mayor Daley had dug into the runway ?

Their livery has “Balkan” on the forward fuselage and “BH Holidays” on the tail fin.

ILFC ?

I think it’s fairly normal for airports to be outside of city boundaries. Not many cities can aford the space for a runway.

You’re absolutely right but what I mean about Glasgow is that it’s not even within the political boundaries of Glasgow but in fact in another town. Strictly speaking, Paisley International Airport would be more appropriate.

Hmmm… I feel a campaign coming on and Bhoy strongly disagreeing with me 😀

As for Prestwick still being international then yes, as it carries flights to destinations outwith the UK. Ryanair to Ireland, Globespan (for now) to Spain and lot’s of ad-hoc charters and cargo to all over the world.

I’ve always thought that Glasgow does as well with Prestwick.

Glasgow Prestwick, is about 25 miles away from Glasgow International and I’ve never really considered Prestwick as somewhere that should carry “Glasgow” in it’s title. It certainly never used too.

Glasgow International is also not technically in Glasgow but 8 miles to the West of the city centre. It’s actually situated within the administrative boundaries of my home town of Paisley. You can walk from Paisley town centre to the airport in 15 or 20 minutes.
