Directions for your Glasgow Airport taxi

Glasgow International Airport (GLA), formerly known as Abbotsinch Airport, is the second busiest airport in Scotland and the main one serving the city centre and the surrounding towns. It is located 14.5 km from the city, so a transfer from Glasgow Airport to the city centre shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes. Alternatively, if you’re planning on heading to Scotland’s capital, a taxi from Glasgow Airport to Edinburgh will take you just over an hour.

After around 12 minutes, they will take exit 15 and use the two right-hand lanes to merge onto Baird St/A804, after a few kilometres, your driver will then turn right onto Killermont St and then left into the heart of Glasgow.
