Ryanair’s £40M Bet on Scotland Brings Job Boom
Ryanair is set to create hundreds of jobs with a major £40 million expansion at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. The project includes a new maintenance hangar, adding 450 skilled roles and 60 apprenticeships. Backed by UK and Scottish government funding, the site will become Ryanair’s largest maintenance hub. The move strengthens Scotland’s aviation sector, boosts local employment, and signals long-term growth in aircraft engineering and training.
