Taildragger, relax man!
No one here seems to have an axe to grind against anything or anyone else. It is just experiences that we are discussing. Don't get so defensive. There are facts here like
1) The goverment should never have opened the airport in the first place, with no public transport in place (this is indeed the most serious issue here).
2) The company's operations (the one which faces most of the problems) are mostly run on personal mobile phones (and we're talking flt deck here), info current Sunday pm. Now, I do not care whose fault this is, but the problem is there.
3) ILS03R not certified/not used. VORDME03R only applies as an IFR procedure on this one. Not a major problem, but it's there. A little note on the side: If you take off from 21L you'll probably get the same uncmfortable feeling about that hill at the other end, too close for comfort.
4) Not enough policing around the front entrance for parking offenders, not adequate marshaling of the parking lots. Result: took up to 1 1/2 hrs to leave the airport, totally unnecessarily, mob or no mob. Remeber, it's Greeks you're dealing with
Teething problems? Sure, ok. We all understand. This is a good airport that the whole of Europe should be proud off.
On this, it's not "us" against "them"...
