Managing director Gordon Dewar said that while the events of 30 June would never be forgotten, the anniversary would be "just another working day" for the airport's 5,000 staff.
We have worked hard to deliver improved facilities, at no cost to our passengers, or to the taxpayer Gordon DewarManaging director He also praised the "tremendous courage" shown by workers, passengers and members of the emergency services who were caught up in last year's events and said it was thanks to their support that the airport was able to reopen less than 24 hours after the attack.
"One year on, there is no triumphalism, just a quiet determination to get on with the job and deliver for our passengers," he said.
"We have worked hard over the past year to repair, and refurbish, the terminal building and there are now few visible signs of last year's attack.
"I am extremely proud of the team effort that has brought us to this point."
Final phase
He said the airport had now been completely transformed, with £4m being spent in the past 12 months on upgrading the terminal and forecourt, including repairs to the areas damaged by smoke and water. Bomb-proof glass has also been installed along the frontage.
Door two - the point of impact - has been completely rebuilt.
The final phase of the investment will see 300 steel bollards being installed along the inner forecourt, replacing the temporary barriers introduced following the attack.
Mr Dewar said: "Glasgow Airport has incurred substantial capital costs as a result of the attack on the terminal.
"Despite this, we have worked hard to deliver improved facilities, at no cost to our passengers, or to the taxpayer."
