prestwick is now the busiest airport in the uk for carrying cargo planes. Its busier than gatwick and heathrow together.

Those were the days!!Prestwick was always a great airport to visit back in the 60's and 70's.
Good to see it making a comeback these days with increased scheduled and cargo/training flights.
Is that correct?

It might be, a look at Prestwick Airport's own website shows a statistic that it carries more freight than all other Scottish Airports combined. They also claim to handle more B747 freighter flights than any other UK airport.
