Cardiff Handling
Has anyone been to Cardiff recently in anything small? What's the handling situation these days?

The flying club used to provide handling for small aircraft - but I'm not sure they're still trading.

Was last there is June for Landing/Handling and overnight parking it was £113.85 for < 1.5t SEP.

Edited: It was mandatory handling at the time - the flying school had closed (so I was told). It was all very friendly and helpful. I believe the situation has not changed.

Who is the mandatory handler? Does handling need to be booked in advance?

Handling agent is Signature on 01446 712637.

Phoning ahead is always a good idea to avoid unwanted delays. Let them know if you'll need fuel as well for the same reason.

St Athan
Why not go to RAF St Athan instead?
Total cost for landing and 1 night parking was £55 only 2 months ago.
It's a bit further out and doesn't have the same transport links but half the price.

Or fly into Upfield farm Newport. Closer to Cardiff than Cardiff International or StAthan.
