The boss of a Prestwick Airport-based ground handling firm has accused the Scottish Government of putting his company "out of business" after his lease at the hub was suddenly axed.
In a furious letter to MSPs, Bert Greer, managing director of Greer Aviation said the "devastating and unwarranted state intervention" was putting jobs at risk and may violate competition laws.
It comes after Greer were informed by the state-owned airport's board on October 29 that their lease would be terminated with effect from January 31 2015.
Greer, whose firm has been at Prestwick since 2001, said the decision had come "without notice or consultation".
