The visit gave the airline direct insight into Scotland’s high-value industries, including whisky and seafood, helping to deepen understanding of producers’ and freight forwarders’ needs.

“We were pleased to welcome the delegation from China Southern Air Logistics to Prestwick,” said Ian Forgie, Chief Executive Officer, Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
