‘Trump Force One’ – a private plane often used by his loved ones – landed at Prestwick Airport this morning ahead of his own arrival this evening.

Mr Trump will jet into Ayrshire on Air Force 1 between 7.20pm and 8.05pm – with another no-fly zone from 7.30pm to 8.50pm in place between the airport and his Trump Turnberry hotel and golf course.

But footage taken early this morning suggests his family and friends have already landed in Scotland.

Onlookers caught a glimpse of the aircraft beside the terminal building – clearly visible from the small village of Monkton.

One eagle-eyed punter said: “It looked like a big travel operation was already well underway.

“It’s not every day you see plane’s carrying the US President and his family land on your doorstep.”

It comes after the President’s Secret Service motorcade was spotted after arriving in Scotland.

The black SUV vehicles were seen filling up at a petrol station in Monkton after being unloaded from a huge US Air Force Globemaster plane on Thursday.

Trump will be here between this evening and next Tuesday and is expected to mix golf and business with key political meetings.

He’s expected to first visit his luxury Turnberry resort near Girvan, Ayrshire where it’s thought he will spend the weekend.

On Monday, Trump is expected to travel by air to his other Scots golf resort at Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire.

Restrictions suggest he will fly there via RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, where air traffic will be restricted between 4.20pm and 5.05pm.

There will be a no-fly zone between the airbase and Menie between 4.30pm and 5.45pm on Monday.

And the curbs indicate he will leave for Lossiemouth again to return to the US between 2.45pm and 4pm on Tuesday.

he airspace around Menie Estate will also be shut off between 8am on Sunday and 3.30pm on Tuesday.

The NATS document states: “The President of the United States (POTUS) will visit Scotland between the 25 July 2025 and 29 July 2025, POTUS will visit several locations throughout Scotland and as part of the security arrangements the Secretary of State for Transport has decided that it is necessary, on the grounds of public safety and security, to introduce Restriction of Flying Regulations under Article 239 of the Air Navigation Order 2016 to restrict the operation of all types of aircraft between 24 July 2025 and 29 July 2025.

“Pilots are strongly encouraged to employ the use of moving map technology and/or an air traffic service to mitigate the risk of inadvertent airspace infringements.

“In relation to this document, the term ‘aircraft’ includes any small balloon, any kite, any unmanned aircraft and any parachute including a parascending parachute or paramotor.” 

Trump is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his visit. Sources suggest this will happen on Monday.

He will also meet with First Minister John Swinney during his time in Scotland.
