IO540,

How recent is this? I went there in 2009 and it wasn't anything horrid - below £100 I think.
it got published in November now and is set to go in force in April. They will basically rise the basic landing fee from about £10-20 to £100 and then pack the rest on top. We hope it will go like the Samedan one, but we don't bet the house on it.

Do you mean Serbia and further south towards Greece? I was going to stop in Sofia this year and their charges list was the length of my arm. A total pi**take.
Sofia is like this unfortunately. The "safe" plan in Bulgaria is to land at Plovdiv, but they do not have fuel, and then proceed to a smaller place like Lesnovo or Primorsko for fuel. Still quite expensive (the fuel) but the landing fees and all are very civil at the smaller airports, if they'd get customs there we'd be having ourselfs some nice airports.... but comes time, come wealthy customers and they'll do it.

Croatia remains excellent though - I hope it stays.
true. One of the last save havens of GA for now... Even Makedonia and Bosnia have very civil prices I understand.

Best regards
