Glasgow Airport (GLA)
Located just 8 miles away from the city centre, Glasgow Airport is currently one of the BAA airports in the UK and has been operational as a commercial airport since 1975. Prior to that it was an overspill RAF base for those stationed at Renfrew.

Today, more than 8 million travellers head through Glasgow Airport, making it the busiest airport in Scotland. Various travel providers and airlines fly from Glasgow to locations all around the world.
