A warning has been issued to travellers as essential works get underway at Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
The works will be taking place in the airport’s security area until approximately mid-January 2025.
These works are part of an upgrade to replace the airport's equipment to help ensure "a smoother and more efficient experience" for passengers.
Prestwick Airport said that it will do its best to minimise disruption. However, passengers may experience some changes to the usual process.

To help ensure a smooth journey through security, travellers are advised to arrive slightly earlier than usual to account for any potential delays and follow the guidance from airport security staff and ensure their belongings are ready for screening.
Prestwick is also reminding travellers that items such as laptops, tablets, and other large electronics must also be removed from luggage for separate screening.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
