Entrepreneurs to help boost Glasgow Airport
02.03.10
Three of Scotland's most successful entrepreneurs are to act as business ambassadors for Glasgow Airport as part of a campaign to position the city as Scotland's main business and leisure gateway, the Evening Times reports. Jim McColl, chief executive of Clyde Blowers, John McGlynn, founder of Airlink Group, and Chris Gorman, chairman of the Entrepreneurial Exchange, will take up the new high-profile roles. They will provide feedback on their experience as regular business travellers and share examples of high-quality customer service from other airports around the world.
The 'Glasgow Gateway' initiative is a brainchild of Amanda McMillan, managing director of the airport, who wants to build on the hub's position as Scotland's transatlantic and long-haul gateway.
She is reported to hope the strategy will encourage more business passengers to use Glasgow Airport, and ultimately attract new flights aimed at the business market to key destinations across Europe and beyond. Glasgow currently lags behind rival Edinburgh as a business hub, and is seen by many as more of a holiday airports.
A package of incentives are being considered to encourage business travellers to fly to and from Glasgow Airport, including fast-track car parking and security, and lounge access. Ms McMillan told the newspaper: 'We are delighted three of Scotland's most successful entrepreneurs have agreed to act as business ambassadors for Glasgow Airport. Their suggestions and feedback will allow us to deliver a better experience for business travellers, and indeed for all of our passengers.'
