UPDATE: In light of Prestwick Airport's repeated refusal to answer my Qs re the below story, I submitted an FoI request last month. The airport has since replied, but is refusing to disclose the info I've requested about its financial transactions with the US military. Thread 👇
Prestwick says the info I've asked for about fee waivers for inbound US military aircraft is commercially sensitive and that its disclosure would damage its commercial interests. Remember, the airport has repeatedly refused to respond to allegations re the £1m+ of waivers.
Here's Prestwick's response to my FoI. Its reasons for withholding the info are outlined in the annex.
I don't believe these arguments are valid, and I don't believe the FoI exemption has been robustly applied, so I've written today asking for an internal review. Here's my letter:
I'll hopefully receive the info I've asked for by mid Nov, but if not, I'll appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner. In the meantime, if you know more about Prestwick, the US Defence Dept, and Trump Turnberry, my DMs are open. Secure email martynmcl@protonmail.com
