EMERGENCY services and agencies flocked to Prestwick Airport on Wednesday to take part in a live play exercise.
The exercise aimed to test the airport and multi-agency partners' response to an aircraft incident.
It has been classed as Scotland’s largest live play exercise post-pandemic, following support from partner agencies and volunteers.
The exercise was planned with a number of organisations including Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue, Scottish Ambulance Service, South Ayrshire Council, NHS Ayrshire and Arran, Ayrshire College, UKBF, SEPA, plus other agencies.
An airport spokesperson said: "Exercises are routinely carried out by emergency response organisations to ensure that the appropriate response mechanisms are in place.
"This is also an opportunity to up-skill our staff and to enhance our partnership working with emergency services and other key agencies."
