Please note that there is a significant rivalry between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and aviation fans on the internet have taken this to a new and bitter level.
Please be very suspicious of any blatantly pro- or anti- Edinburgh changes made here. To keep a NPOV, this article should not discuss Edinburgh at all except in passing.
Those who would disparage Glasgow airport in a partisan way often talk up Prestwick airport as an alternative, so much the same applies there.
There is real political debate about the future of Scotland's airports but any statement that airport X will get future investment instead of airport Y, or that airport D is better than airport C because it has B is basically an opinion and does not belong in an encyclopedia page. Please don't let this article turn into (yet another) edinburgh/glasgow bickering ground (see: alt.airports.uk.edinburgh).
I have to say it but I can see this article (and the Edinburgh one) having to be locked at some point in the future now that its existence has been mentioned on alt.airports.uk.edinburgh
"The other international airport branded as a Glasgow destination is Glasgow Prestwick Airport, situated 29 miles (46 km) from the city centre, serving low cost airlines, which currently handles the equivalent of around a quarter of Glasgow Airport's traffic (2.4 million passengers in 2006)."
Surely Prestwick handles its own traffic and not "Glasgow Airport's traffic" - unless there is some business agreement between BAA and GPIA which we are unaware of? I am going to delete this unfounded assertion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.19.212 ( talk) 10:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
The second line of this page is false, Glasgow had less passengers than Edinburgh in 2007 and so was not the busiest in Scotland. If you look at the source cited it quite clearly shows Glasgow did have 8,795,727, but Edinburgh had 9,047,558. So I don't know if this was deliberate by someone being pro-Glasgow, or someone forgot to include Edinburgh when checking the list for other Scottish Airports.

Somebody has totally messed up this page. All of the information about the airport is meddled into the template information. I just assume it would be a mistak — why leave it?
I've added an image, found on http://www.geograph.co.uk/ with a suitable licence. Wangi 06:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I noticed the snowball effect has started... I have trimmed the external links to just the official site - WP:EL. What do the other links add? Thanks/ wangi 15:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Glasgow - and probably other airports - has a rich history of destinations that have been previously served. Right up to date we have the withdrawal of the Southampton service by BA Connect, but previously there is the JFK/BOS service by BA; YYZ by AC; CDG direct by Jersey European (now flyBe.). Going further into the past there is the AirUK service to STN (the AMS service is the legacy service to the now KLM Cityhopper service).
The historical information is as important and the current information and should be moved to an appropriate location when ceases to be current. For example a section on past destinations served could be added.

This is one stop service via PHL (US 563 / US 564) with US Customs/Immigration (and security clearance) taking place. Keeping the same flight number to my mind indicates a through service.
Just checking out the LHR page lists Air New Zealand service Auckland - NZ001/NZ002 are one-stop services with US Customs/Immigration (and security clearance) taking place at LAX. Pencefn 09:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
This concludes for the summer season of 2006 on 30 September 2006. This can be verified by referring the American Airlines timetable.
There has been an edit suggesting that it will not return for 2007, however no reference to any official source has been given. If the source of the ceasing of this summer service can be cited, then it can join the list of past destinations (with AC to/from YYZ; SN to/from BRU; BA to/from JFK/BOS; BA to/from SOU; ...etc) as historical information - Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Historical Information

I notice that my change of Keflavík to Reykjavík has been reverted. The reason that I chose to change to Reykjavík is that the list is of the cities that the airlines fly to, not the airport. Since there are two airports in Reykjavík (one domestic ( Reykjavík Airport, RKV), and one international, ( Keflavík International Airport, KEF) it should be specified as Reykjavík-Keflavík in the list (just like Glasgow should be specified as Glasgow-International to distinguish it from Prestwick. I am sorry I was not fully aware of this at the time, I now understand that i should have specified that it was the Keflavík airport in addition to that the route served Reykjavík.
Furthermore it should be noted that Keflavík Airport serves Reykjavík. It is located about 50 km from Reykjavík, wich is well within the limit for what is considered close enough to serve a capital city, see for instance Oslo Airport, Gardermoen or London Stansted Airport where there is no doubt as to which city they serve. This is the way airport destinations are named, both outside and within Wikipedia, whether or not the city name is part of the offical name of the airport, see for instance Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Both Icelandair and the airport authorities call the destination "Reykjavik", see Glasgow Internationa Airport web site [2] and Icelandair web site [3].
I will change the entry to Reykjavík-Keflavík. Arsenikk 22:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
What is the IATA definition of the airport that carries the KEF code? Maybe for consistency in Wikipedia, we shoud use the terminology that Wikipedia itself uses - see Keflavík International Airport. Hence is should be Keflavik. Pencefn 17:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Stands 37, 38 and 39 were brought into use in August 2006 (or was it late July 2006). There are various combinations of aircraft that are permitted. However I can not find a source that details this. I understand it is one B777-300 or B747-400; or a B767-300 with a B757-300; and how many B737 (three?) The CAA (AIP) website does not give the new stands yet - however it took over a year after stands 81 and 82 were opened for the new ramp chart to be published.

I can not find any reference in the bmi or Star Alliance timetables to a bmi service to Jersey. A search via expedia.co.uk gives services via BA and flyBe. involving changes enroute. As with services to Venice and Dalaman are these seasonal charters that do not appear on the timetable sold as part of IT packages? A source for this data would be of use.

I have put the Gaelic translation for Glasgow International Airport as: Port-adhair Eadar-nàiseanail Glaschu. As having limited gaelic skills i am not sure wether the translation is correct. Could someone could comment. Cstephen 11:32, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
as gaelic is a minority lanuage spoken by just 1% of scotland, and basically no one in glasgow should the name even be on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.67.239 ( talk) 00:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure where some of the assertions above come from, however there is no trace of Gaelic on any of the airport website or marketing materials. I am removing the Gaelic reference based purely on the Airport's own materials. Anecdotally, after 40 years of living in the area, I have never heard Gaelic spoken in general conversation, nor met anyone who can speak the language. Endeleus ( talk) 21:40, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
For some reason this perfectly valid entry has been removed from the Incidents section, and has therefore been restored. This may be an issue of pride and embarrassment for people associated with the airport, however it was a serious and noteworthy incident which does not deserve to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.19.212 ( talk) 08:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I see the note on the Emirates incident has been deleted yet again. I wil re-instate it a second time. Please could the site moderators monitor this, or at least justify why it should be acceptable for the content to be repeatedly removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.19.212 ( talk) 12:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Someone has added a Turkish Airlines route to Istanbul in the destinations list, commencing 6th August 2009. This is pure speculation and has not been confirmed by the airline. Until confirmed by the airline any references to a Turkish Airlines service from Glasgow Airport should be kept out of the list of current destinations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.18.220 ( talk) 15:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
"By 1996, Glasgow Airport was handling 5.47 million passengers per annum, placing it fourth in the UK."
Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester would all have been larger then this at the time, I'm sure, so that makes at atleast fifth, If it can not be substantiated soon, I will remove it. Mtaylor848 ( talk) 18:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Is there any interest in adding a sentence or two about the flying club which operates from the airport(e.g. Glasgow Flying Club provides training for various licences and ratings. The club operates from the north side of the airport etc.)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyingontheg5 ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Should this charter flight be seasonal? The source states that the airline will operate 3 flights only on 5 August, 12 August, and 19 August but it did mention on possibly introducing future flights further into 2017 but I must be reading it wrong. Any suggestions? If it's only operates on those 3 days only then it is not a regular charter flight. 166.177.187.145 ( talk) 08:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

I though it was perfectly reasonable to add the new TUI Airways service to Salzburg Airport that was operated by BA CityFlyer but it has been removed in the past few days. Is there any reason as to why this should not have been on the page in the first place?
A few months ago, the Milan route was changed on this page to seasonal and now it's been edited to say it ends in October. However, the source quoted for this change also states that the routes it lists as ending in October may reappear for Summer 2019. I noticed that an edit removing the ending date was reverted but surely removing that end date was correct, at least until EasyJet release their Summer schedule later this month? 81.108.131.191 ( talk) 23:10, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Why does Toronto keep being removed as a Westjet destination? Glasgow airport's own website, as cited on the page, clearly lists Toronto as a Westjet destination and during the summer when the flight operates, it shows both Halifax & Toronto as the destination on the airport's flight information page. Since day 1, the flight has always operated Glasgow - Halifax - Toronto as a single flight using the same flight number and aircraft throughout. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.131.191 ( talk) 23:10, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
