Catch the flight to Glasgow and you shall miss the bus

Since the introduction of Ryanair flights to and from Malta, I have used their services over 20 times and I have no complaints about the cheap and efficient services offered by the airline.

It is positive to note that Ryanair decided to introduce flights from (Glasgow) Prestwick Airport to and from Malta on Thursdays and Sundays as from next month.

However, despite the fact that this new service was introduced, public transport to/from Prestwick airport remains a problem. On Thursday, the flight arrives at Prestwick at midnight, whereas on Sunday the flight arrives at 11.50 p.m. Prestwick Airport have advised that the last city centre bus times will be staying the same and will be departing Prestwick to go to Glasgow at 12.15 a.m.

How can one expect to be able to use this bus service if one has to pass through passport control and collect luggage? It comes as no surprise that there has been a significant drop in the number of passengers using Prestwick Airport!
