I'm flying from Norwich 'International' (i.e. small) Airport tomorrow. I have just seen on their website I am required to pay a newly introduced £3 'Airport Development Charge'! This is so this privately owned company can get it's passengers to pay for it's further expansion. A short and not very nice word springs to mind!
I wonder at the legality of asking a paying passenger to pay a contribution to the viability of a develoment in the future?! and apparently if I don't pay, I won;t be allowed to use their service (i.e. board the flight I have paid for!!!!!!!) Any advice on avoiding this new policy from Norwich 'Dick Turpin' Airport would be appreciated.
