Landing fees are outwith our remit, but there are are facilities away from the terminal and if you pay on the day you won't be hit for anything like £45.
If you park on the light a/c park and go to a hange south of hangar 12 you'll find a fully licensed resturant and briefing facility, they can't take your landing fee (for reasons beyond me and not for the want of exhaustive trying on their behalf).

The airport development fee of £3 only applies to departing passengers on schedules or IT services, it's charged by every airport in the UK but it's just that NWI, Liverpool and St Mawgan have had the balls to let folk know up front and not squirrel it away in the other charges.
Besides which it's optional and less than 200 out of 650,000 passengers to date have refused to pay it.

The landing fees issue is a worthy debate, but stick to the facts and do some research before you post, NWI isn't the pariah some of you imply it is.
We rarely turn anyone away for training, have better and more accessible facilities than any other airport in Norfolk, Cambridge or Suffolk and, as a unit, we often provide services for free that other airports would charge you for.

Cheers chaps and chapesses.....
