Official, licensed taxis are available 24/7 from the rank directly outside the main terminal building. The journey to Glasgow city centre takes approximately 20 minutes, is metered, and drivers accept both cash and card payments. Private hire vehicles can also be pre-booked.
Major car rental companies, including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, and Sixt, have desks located in the domestic arrivals hall. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons. Some off-site rental companies also offer shuttle services from the airport.
The main public transport option is the Glasgow Airport Express bus service (500), which runs frequently to Glasgow's city centre (Buchanan Bus Station) in about 15-20 minutes. Local buses also connect to nearby areas like Paisley Gilmour Street, which is the closest train station for onward rail travel to Glasgow Central and other destinations.
Glasgow Airport is an international airport in Scotland. It is located in Paisley, Renfrewshire, 8.6 nautical miles west of Glasgow city centre. In 2019, the airport handled 8.84 million passengers, an 8.4% annual decrease, making it the second-busiest in Scotland, after Edinburgh Airport, and the ninth-busiest airport in the United Kingdom.
The airport is owned and operated by AGS Airports which also owns and operates Aberdeen and Southampton airports. It was previously owned and operated by Heathrow Airport Holdings. The airport's largest tenants are British Airways, easyJet and Loganair. Other major airlines using Glasgow as a base include Jet2.com and TUI Airways.
Glasgow Airport was opened in 1966 and originally flights only operated to other places in the United Kingdom and Europe. Glasgow Airport began to offer flights to other places around the world, flights which previously used Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was subsequently relegated as the city's secondary airport catering for Ryanair, freight and charter operators.
