Other smaller regional airports with 'big airport syndrome' would do well to learn the lessons of how not to do it Norwich-style
Yes but sadly they won't, because the numbers will never stack up. Let's say 20 extra GA movements a day at £25 a throw, that grosses them about £180,000 a year - not a lot. And they'd have to have staff available to deal with them including all the security etc, probably extra vehicles too. And if the GA pilots don't go through the terminal and don't park their cars there the airport gets nothing extra.
Look at Newquay. A publicly-owned airport, supposedly devoted to promoting inward tourism to Cornwall. A very attractive destination for light aircraft. Total 'aero club, private and business aviation' movements in 2009 - 5. Yes, that's right, five.
