As a fairly frequent user of Gladstone airport I received this message today. When I asked why it wasn't in the YGLA notams they said they were not permitted to do so. Does anyone know if this is correct? It seems silly if it is true. Apart from 50kg of paperwork the other thing aircraft need in order to fly is fuel. Before anyone replies with "You should always phone ahead to check fuel availability" please explain how busy airports would cope with perhaps hundreds of calls asking if their swipe card bowser was working.
