GLASGOW airport has been named the top flight centre in the country at an awards ceremony.

The travel hub was crowned UK Airport of the Year at the 2015 National Transport Awards in London last night.

It comes after the airport was also named as the Scottish Airport of the Year in June, after bosses invested £25 million to revamp terminals.

Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: “To have been named both Scottish and UK Airport of the Year is a tremendous honour and it is an achievement the 5,000 people who work at Glasgow Airport can be proud of.

“Together, we have continued to build on the success of 2014 by adding further new routes which has translated into consistent passenger growth.

"We have also made a significant investment in enhancing our facilities for passengers but the most pleasing aspect has been our operational performance.

"Despite securing an additional one million passengers, 99.4% of passengers have passed through security in less than 10 minutes during 2015.

"This award really is testament to the efforts of the entire airport campus."
