## Description

New ownership, fresh capital: since January 2025, Glasgow Airport (IATA: GLA, ICAO: EGPF) has belonged to AviAlliance/PSP Investments, alongside Aberdeen and Southampton, after a roughly £1.53 billion acquisition of parent company AGS Airports. Scotland's west-coast gateway handled about 8.06 million passengers in 2024, up nearly 10 percent, with easyJet, Jet2 and Loganair carrying the bulk. Loganair — Scotland's regional airline — is headquartered on the field, knitting Glasgow to the Highlands and Islands with flights that also carry mail and spare parts. For exporters, the key asset is bellyhold: Emirates' daily Boeing 777s to Dubai regularly leave with Scottish salmon and seafood on board, and the airline is weighing a second daily Dubai frequency as soon as summer 2026, pairing its A380 with a 777 to balance passenger and freight capacity. Cargo volumes stay modest overall; a cargo area with customs clearance covers belly and express consignments, while full freighters in western Scotland tend to use Prestwick. The airport sits directly off the M8, 13 kilometres west of the city centre; with no rail link, the airport bus remains the city connection.
