POLICE today warned any race attacks on the first anniversary of the terror strike on Glasgow Airport would be dealt with "robustly".

Chief Constable of Strathclyde Police Steve House also moved to reassure the public over security, exactly one year on from the failed car bomb attack on June 30, last year.

He said: "For those who would see this anniversary of the attack as an excuse to commit acts of abuse against any member of our community, I have a clear message: My officers will investigate all such incidents thoroughly, and those responsible will be dealt with robustly.

"In the period immediately following last year's incident we were very fortunate to have been able to build upon the excellent long-standing relationship we had forged with our minority communities.

"And, working in conjunction with both them and our partner agencies, we were able to tackle the emerging issues which had the potential to cause great concern."

Meanwhile, airport managing director Gordon Dewar said today would be "just another working day" for the 5000 staff on duty.

He also praised the "tremendous courage" shown by workers, passengers and members of the emergency services who were caught up in last year's chaos.

And key figures involved in the aftermath hailed the Dunkirk spirit' of staff and holidaymakers.

Ronald Leitch, 26, customer services operations manager, said: "There was a sense that their' airport had been targeted - I think people here took it very personally.

"There was a sense of duty on their part to help the airport get back up and running again."

Compliance manager Gillies Crichton, 48, added: "The biggest eye-opener for me was on the Sunday morning, the day after the incident.

"Everybody at the airport - not just BAA staff, but people from right across the airport, rolled up their sleeves and got involved.

"The spirit of members of the public was absolutely fantastic - they were queued up, without a word of complaint."
