===Airports===
[[File:GlasgowAirportFromAir.jpg|thumb|right|[[Glasgow Airport]] is the largest of the two airports that serve Glasgow]]
There are three international airports within 45 minutes travel of the city centre, as well as a centrally located seaplane terminal. Two airports are dedicated to Glasgow, and [[Edinburgh Airport]], situated on the west side of Edinburgh, is not far from Glasgow. These airports are [[Glasgow Airport]] (GLA) ({{cvt|8|mi|km|0|abbr=off|disp=or|spell=on}} west of the city centre) in Renfrewshire, [[Glasgow Prestwick Airport]] (PIK) ({{cvt|30|mi|km|sigfig=1|abbr=off|disp=or}} southwest) in South Ayrshire, [[Edinburgh Airport]] (EDI), ({{cvt|34|mi|km|abbr=off|disp=or}} east) in Edinburgh and [[Glasgow Seaplane Terminal]], by the Glasgow Science Centre on the River Clyde.

There are also several smaller, domestic and private airports around the city. There is a heliport, [[Glasgow City Heliport]], located at Stobcross Quay on the banks of the Clyde.

All of the international airports are easily accessible by public transport, with Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh Airport directly linked by bus routes from the main bus station and a direct rail connection to Glasgow Prestwick Airport from Glasgow Central Station. A series of proposals to provide a direct rail link to Glasgow International Airport have ended unsuccessfully, beginning with the [[Glasgow Airport Rail Link]] in 2009.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8256474.stm |title=Ministers scrap airport rail plan |work=BBC News |date=17 September 2009 |access-date=7 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728210311/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8256474.stm |archive-date=28 July 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> As of 2019, local authorities have approved plans for a "Glasgow Metro", including a connection to the International Airport.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-51008481 |title=Glasgow Airport Metro system gets council leader approval |date=6 January 2020 |access-date=29 January 2020 |archive-date=7 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200107132242/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-51008481 |url-status=live}}</ref>
