Glasgow Prestwick International Airport {{Airport codes|PIK|EGPK}} is a facility situated north of the town of Prestwick in Ayrshire, Scotland. Although officially called Glasgow Prestwick International Airport because Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, is only 46 km (29 miles) North-East of the airport, most people, particularly locals, refer to it simply as Prestwick Airport.
