Story

In a significant move for Scotland's transport sector, AGS Airports, the new owners of Glasgow Airport, have unveiled plans to invest £350 million across three locations, with a major focus on Glasgow. This investment is aimed at boosting passenger numbers and enhancing the airport's competitiveness against its key rival, Edinburgh Airport, which outperformed Glasgow by almost double in terms of passengers last year. Glasgow Airport is expected to serve approximately 8.5 million passengers in 2025, a substantial way off from Edinburgh's figure of nearly 16 million.
