The minimum invoice fee is still around £45 and that's reasonable given the fact that if you pay on the day, you get 25% off the stated fee of £8.98 per half tonne, or if you book as a training rate you get 60% off.
If you are just doing approaches, the same fee applies as per a landing, ie £8.98 per half tonne per approach, but if you book in advance you get the training discount of 60% off.
If you make an approach and landing, it's still £8.98 per half tonne plus applicable discount.
If you don't pay on the day, the company have to raise an invoice and while most people pay within a reasonable time, some don't and anyone who runs their own business knows what a pain in the arse chasing money is and that cashflow is king.
Obviously all figures are plus VAT and don't include long term parking.
Pay in advance or on the day, stay away from the terminal to avoid security checks and the nause of delays, make use of the flying clubs hospitality - if you want fuel it's especially important to do that by booking in advance to use their aprons - negotiations are in progress to set up full facilities with one of the base operators to provide a full FBO handling service, although the detail has yet to be finalised.
Simple isn't it....
Look forward to seeing you
