That’s good Nick if you have nothing constructive to add to this thread.

Google Skytrax or other sites to see how passengers assess Norwich.

Letters to the local Eastern Daily Press are frequent and mention issues such as queuing outside in freezing weather on arrival to clear customs.

Here is the text from a letter in the EDP yesterday.

“Recently, the boarding charge at Norwich Airport has again been in the news. As a traveller from there for the past 15 years, I have attempted to get information on where the money goes. I have written to two MPs for Norfolk; getting no response.

A friend of mine was told by someone at the airport that the runway had been upgraded — I would have thought that such expense would be covered by landing fees, etc.

To me, the worst aspect of the situation is that virtually nothing has been done to improve the lot of the passengers; who after all, are essential to the existence of the airport.

Surely a minor portion of the money raised could be spent on providing shelter for disembarking passengers?

Up to now up to 300 passengers are made to stand, as I have done, in driving rain, for over 30 minutes. The owners and administrators of Norwich Airport should be ashamed.”

Having read the above how do you justify this statement Nick

I would say it would be good for you to come through the airport again, I think you will find it's a little bit different from a few years back.
The so called development fee has not resulted in any passenger creature comforts or indeed an ILS on 09.

Hence the failure of aircraft to land on 09 when the vis is poor.
I am sure you now know about decision heights and diversions.

As for the ‘International ‘ tag that is totally dependent on KLM continuing to run the service to Amsterdam.

To q

I say again this was a great little local airport decades ago run by a joint local council group who sold out to a series of commercial operaters that has now been reduced to an old shed run by the Rigby group.
