Edinburgh? I would assume they would prefer to fly into EDI direct?

Looks like you are missing geniune figures sourced CAA?
Or do you prefer speculative figures involving PIK's demise?

Slightly nearer to what? A lot of guys in here assume pax flying to
PIK are visiting Glasgow..nothing could be further than the truth.

A significant number of them are, including the many that board a
train there and alight at Glasgow Central Station, and including
thousands of Glasgow residents - myself included - that use the
airport. So while not all PIK passengers are Glasgow-bound, please
explain how "nothing could be further from the truth" than pax...

In the scenario outlined the choice would be exactly the same only handier
for most. All the Ryanair and Wizz Air PIK flights would go from GLA. Apart
from all that the new owners at GLA will be able to attract all sorts of new
international links by offering lower charges so choice will be greater than
it is now. I certainly don't see the status quo being a better option for
west of Scotland traveller or visitors to here and neither do the CC. I
couldn't be more delighted that change is on the horizon.

They would, of course, if PIK has the destination they need to get to but
their numbers are comparatively small.

You answered your own question Alan... btw those alighting at Glasgow
Central are dispersing throughout Scotland? They are not all headed
for Glasgow
