Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) is set to expand its cargo operations linked to India, driven by rising demand for Scottish exports such as salmon and whisky. This expansion builds on the recently enacted United Kingdom–India Free Trade Agreement, which reduces tariffs on key exports, enhancing trade flows. Nico Le Roux, Business Development Director at PIK, described India as a key market target for 2026, with Prestwick serving as a crucial European gateway for India’s pharmaceutical, medical equipment, and garment sectors. The airport is exploring partnerships for dedicated freighter services to accommodate the surge in UK-India trade. This development aligns with Scotland’s national export ambitions and aims to bolster connectivity while supporting expanding industries reliant on efficient cargo logistics.
