It has full rt, landing lights, papi a good café a pub with 5 Min's walk with a good menu. It normally has fuel and the staff are always helpfull and polite what more do you need?????
On a few points of order:

1. I am not sure what you mean by full rt, I think it has A/G,

2. I have never noticed a PAPI in 20 odd years, but maybe they passed me bye,

3. Sadly the pub is not good, nor is the ever popular Crab and Lobster any more.

All that said, the staff are great, the cafe is very good as airport cafes go, the island is beautiful with many good resteraunts if you are willing to go a little further afield, and the airport just needs a dozen or so bikes L2K style.

Having been involved with some businesses on the Island I would also agree that there are a number of world classes companies based on the Island.

It is a great place and a great shame - lets hope they sort themselves out.
