VIP Music Cargo Event in Record Time
At Prestwick Airport (PIK), we’re no strangers to the demands of high-profile, large-scale events—and our recent VIP music event delivery in partnership with RockIt Cargo proves it once again. In a showcase of speed, precision, and logistical excellence, we successfully handled 44 tonnes of essential cargo for a major UK music event, all within just 2.5 hours of the aircraft touching down.
Why Prestwick Airport Stands Out
When it comes to event logistics, time and efficiency are everything. At Prestwick, we offer an unmatched combination of proximity, infrastructure, and expertise that allows us to excel in large-scale projects like this one. Here’s why event organisers and logistics companies continue to choose us:
- State-of-the-Art Facilities Our 5,300 sqm Ecommerce and Events warehouse, located less than 250 metres from the aircraft stand, allows for rapid cargo handling. This facility is perfectly designed to support the storage, breakdown, and distribution of high-volume shipments, ensuring seamless operations from start to finish.
- Strategic Location Prestwick Airport benefits from direct motorway links to Central Scotland and the rest of the UK, providing fast and efficient transport options for getting cargo to its destination. Whether you’re sending equipment to Edinburgh, Manchester, or beyond, Prestwick’s location makes it an ideal hub for time-sensitive deliveries.
- Unmatched Cargo Handling Capabilities Our facilities are equipped to handle large-scale logistics projects, with five self-levelling truck docks and dedicated freighter parking bays just 250 metres from the cargo area. This means faster offloading and processing, getting your cargo cleared and on its way in record time.
- Proven Speed and Efficiency In this latest project, our team completed the entire process—from offload and breakdown to customs clearance and loading onto trucks—in just 2.5 hours. This kind of operational speed is what sets Prestwick apart, ensuring that your team can hit the road well before the aircraft is even ready to depart.
