We’re therefore delighted that the 2015 show has been confirmed and that it will be bigger and better than last year. “We’re looking forward to meeting the challenges this will bring and I know our staff, with their teamwork, skill and passion for aviation, will rise to the occasion as always.” Glasgow Prestwick Airport also

Government has re-affirmed the country’s need to have an operational Spaceport capability by 2018 to support the burgeoning UK space industry. The facility will become a launch

It will also be an operating base for manned flights using reusable space craft such as those being developed by Virgin Galactic and XCOR. It is expected that the Spaceport
will become a major hub for companies involved in the space industry.
