Flying private from GLA.
Glasgow Airport (EGPF) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Glasgow.
Glasgow is open around the clock and has two private aviation operators, Gama Aviation and Signature Aviation, so passengers do not pass through the main terminal.
The airport is about 11 km from the city centre and runs as a Level 2 facilitated airport, so schedules are agreed with the coordinator rather than through formal slots.
Other options in Glasgow include Glasgow Prestwick (PIK). Flights are operated by CAA-certified operators.
