Dear Sirs / Madams,
Please find attached the Economic Impact Assessment of the Glasgow Prestwick Airport (“the Report”), shared by PwC UK with the Scottish Government (“SG”) in January 2025, in accordance with our agreement dated 20 December 2023. This Report has been prepared based on data shared by SG and Glasgow Prestwick Airport (“GPA”) during the period of March – December 2024. This report has been prepared in connection with the scope as set out in the engagement letter.
You have asked us to estimate the economic impact assessment of GPA to the Scottish economy, both from a Gross Value Added (“GVA”) and employment perspective using the latest available data. In conjunction to this, you have asked us to analyse the airport’s wider impacts, helping you determine the wider services being delivered by the airport. This has included data shared via case studies on 11 businesses and organisations in and around GPA.
As described in the agreement or as expressly agreed by us in writing, we accept no liability (including for negligence) to anyone else or for any other purpose in connection with this report.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Oates
