It is not necessary with a little forward planning to pay a ridiculous amount of money for handling, a questionable service in relation to GA at the best of times !!
I confess I was under the impression handling was mandatory at EGNS ... and having just flown back from there today, having paid my £53 for an approach, parking - and "handling" (for them to fail to fax my GAR to all the right places) I'm somewhat peeved ..
Mind you if you fly there regularly enough I think you can pay £185/year (plus £185 joining fee) and they'll waive the handling charges ... joy!
Nice bunch of guys, just sodding expensive
