Donald Trump backing gives hope to Prestwick airport

 

 

Donald Trump who is an American billionaire and T.V personality has thrown his weight behind the push to revive Prestwick airport as it seeks to regain lost ground. Prestwick which had also witnessed the withdrawal of Ryanair is having renewed hope from this push. The Billionaire has promised to personally market the airport as the gateway to his turn berry course. He has pledged to bring thousands of golfers to the airport.

Trump is betting on the wealthy golfers to bring traffic and revenues to Prestwick. He said the airport will be packed with gulf streams, citation10s and Bombardiers laden with moneyed golfers. In addition he will park his personal jet, a Boeing 757 at the airport.

Mr Trump also was of the opinion that Ryanair would resume operations at the airport in the near future. He claimed Ryanair’s CEO Michael O Leary loves the airport and would love to see operations resume. Trump however said that the politicians need to be willing to work together with the airport and airlines to make it Prestwick profitable once more.

Trump said that planes will be landing in Prestwick from all over, Washington, New York and Chicago. He told the workers to cheer up, they would get a lot of business from the private jets that trump intends to use his influence to bring to Prestwick.

Trump is using £250 million to make turn berry one of the best resorts in the world. A similarly world class airport is needed to cater for its wealthy clients. Prestwick has the qualities needed to work with Turnberry. The CEO of Glasgow Prestwick airport has expressed this partnership with Trump organisation as one of mutual benefits.
