McGrattan to boost Prestwick exports

[ November 12, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Glasgow Prestwick Airport has appointed Paul McGrattan as trade and export development manager to increase its export business. He will work with exporters, freight forwarders, and PIK’s airline partners to increase load factors on eastbound services, with an initial focus on seafood, pharma, whisky and other premium export goods.

The Scottish gateway launched a Scotland to China seafood export service in September 2025 following investment in specialist handling equipment and more than one million kilograms of Scottish salmon had been exported through the airport by May 2026. McGrattan will draw on his near 30 years’ experience in the industry, while developing new relationships with producers seeking faster access to overseas markets.
