Hi All
My daughter's partner is participating in the Festival of Speed at Goodwood over the weekend of July 11th - 13th.
Due to my daughter having to attend a family wedding on the Saturday, I offered to fly her down to Goodwood on the Sunday morning.
I just called Goodwood Ops to book an arrival slot for the Sunday morning, as they only started accepting bookings on Monday.
Well, the good news was that they have plenty of arrival slots available, the BAD news is that they are imposing a whopping landing fee of £50.00 per SEAT !!!
Now, according to the Goodwood aerodrome web site, the visitor landing fee for our aircraft (a Jodel) is £16.38, but as technically our aircraft is a 2 + 2 seater, we would be charged £200.00 landing fee !!
The official explanation is that 'they are encouraging aircraft to fill all their seats......'
Yeah right...........!
The words 'off' and 'rip' spring to mind.
