Summary

Located due north of Paisley and 6 miles (10 km) west of Glasgow, Glasgow Airport is one of seven in the UK operated by the British Airports Authority,
The civilian history of Glasgow Airport can not be expanded upon without discussing Renfrew Airport. During Abbotsinch's tenure as a military installation, Glasgow and Central Scotland was served by Renfrew Airport as its main commercial air link. The airfield first came into existence in 1916 and throughout both wars and the peacetime in-between, the airfield served the duel purpose of civil airfield and military base.
In 1946 the Government nationalized civil aviation and the running of Renfew Airport was taken over by the state. After the war, the Airport expanded considerably, now covering an area more than twice its original size, operating 2 runways, with the old Scottish Flying Club's clubhouse operating as a converted terminal. With the growing demand for air travel, many airlines now operated from the airfield, including the likes of Scottish Airways, Railway Air Services, British European Airways Corporation and subsidiary companies of BEA, offering services to other locations within Scotland, Belfast and London.
