Some very interesting traffic heading to Scotland for Cop 26.

PRES101 from Aerolinas Argentinas appears to be about to land at Prestwick.

Private jet LNX29KG also en route to Glasgow.

Prestwick is not as busy, mostly used for freight these days. Cheaper landing fees probably. Also depends where the people on board will be staying.

The flights/countries will choose where they're landing though, it won't be decided for them

If any of you are near Manchester airport then look up the restaurant called 'the airport' fab food and if you love the planes it's the place to be!

There’s a lot of sweaty palms in UK Air Traffic Control tonight!

Did NS not reduce the plane parking fees at prestwick? It’s still owned by the Scottish government.

Selkiesarereal · 31/10/2021 21:37

I don’t think the rogue 737 is airforce one as I thought that it was a 747.

Bit busier than the past few Sunday nights but they will be brilliant as always.

Prestwick also can’t take some of the bigger planes, there’s limited non stand space and the stands don’t have the wingspan or turning space.

Big night for air traffic control at Glasgow and Prestwick tonight.

No pressure Shock

Hawkins001 · 31/10/2021 21:41

Apparently, we already have potus, and marine one at Glasgow ? Can any one confirm ?

Williamshatnershorses · 31/10/2021 21:41

The passengers on the newly landed Ryanair Malaga flight at Prestwick will be in for an interesting disembarking tonight!

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 31/10/2021 21:41

@KingsleyShacklebolt oh yes. Calmly directing the flights like they have the worlds leaders land every day. Genuinely mean that - every flight is a vital as the last and next. What a job!
