Please help...

What do you (GA and Biz Jet Pilots) expect from an airport you are visiting?

What makes you decide to visit there?

For GA is it a cheap landing fee? or is there something more?


Thanks

I can tell what our customers want:
Apron access for their vehicles.
Good service.
Nice people!
No unecessary hassle with customs and security formalities (ie being dragged over to the terminal building to queue up with all the bucket & spade brigade).
Most are not interested in the actual facilities available they just want to turn up and go.

from an operators point of view.....vaule for money.

I recently went to humberside in our chieftain, and was charged 159 pounds by the handling agent.

Although this included landing fees I shall explain what they did.

Escorted an ambulance onto the ramp, and then off again.
Drove me to the toilet(not the one in the terminal, the rather smelly one that the BMI engineers use), and hten back to the plane.

Most expensive pi55 ive ever had.

i think we used about 20 mins of the guys time.

159 pounds.

not even a cup of coffee!
