Airport Bid Documents
 |
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau has already been working closely with BAA Glasgow to produce bespoke bid documents, which will help persuade airlines to operate new services into Glasgow International and boost local economic benefit.
The document, supported by Glasgow City Council and Renfrewshire Council, clearly sets out the commercial benefits of flying into Glasgow International.
It states that Glasgow offers one of the highest seat occupancy rates for new routes in the UK and highlights the example of Emirates, which has experienced 80% business class occupancy in the first year of operating its Dubai - Glasgow service.

Indeed the airline has announced that from October 2005 it will introduce larger Boeing 777 aircraft on the route -adding more than 50 per cent extra capacity - to meet surging demand.
The bid document also outlines the scale of opportunity afforded by the airport’s close proximity to a metropolitan area with a population of 1.7 million and showcases Glasgow’s reputation as a leading conventions and short break destination
