Prestwick takes top airfreight title

[ December 12, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

Glasgow Prestwick Airport was named Air Freight Business of the Year at the Logistics UK Awards in London on 11 December.

The Scottish airport strengthened its role as a key gateway for trade between Asia, the UK, and Europe with new scheduled services, expanded handling capability, and a clear strategy for long-term development.

Prestwick chief executive, Ian Forgie, said: “This award reflects the discipline and focus shown by our entire team over the past year. We have grown our network, built strong partnerships, and delivered reliable performance at a scale that has changed what Prestwick can offer to the market.”

Prestwick recorded significant rises in tonnage and flight rotations in 2025 and became the UK base for Air China Cargo, China Southern Airlines, and Beijing Capital Airlines, which now operate sixteen weekly full freighter services to Chengdu, Guangzhou and Zhengzhou.
