Glasgow Prestwick Airport has secured three new weekly cargo flights from Hong Kong, operated by Ethiopian Airlines. The service will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, to handle increasing e-commerce volumes.
The airport already handles 15 flights to and from mainland China and earlier this year celebrated its 25 millionth e-commerce parcel.
Business Development Director, Nico Le Roux, said: “New routes to South Korea and Vietnam also give Scottish exporters more direct access to high growth markets and a more efficient routing model for global logistics partners.
Scottish salmon exporters, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and other perishable industries benefit from Prestwick’s dedicated cool chain facilities and specialist import and export services.
