Blackpool have announced that as from the 1st of April discounted landing cards will not be available for based aircraft. Landing fees are to be set at £7.60 per half tonne plus VAT - that's £26.79 for a Cessna 172 - approximately double what we were paying last year . Visiting aircraft pay for parking after the first two hours as well.
Due to the protests received the matter will apparently be raised at a board meeting tomorrow.
If you use/have used/might have used Blackpool and wish to add your voice to the protests of private owners/based operators please send your comments to
[email protected] FAO The Finance Manager, Glynn Wright ASAP
Many Thanks
Malcolm Baldwin
