Careful you all are going to get charges leveled at you of having a secret agenda against Norwich airport.
All comments will be ignored because apprently everyone who is vocal about how badly run the place is has said agenda.
Come on Norwich we don't actually want the place to shut down. Your going to have to do something or it will just be a spiral dive into turning into a housing estate.
1. Get someone with a clue to have a fresh start with the whole security setup. And that someone should be outside the commercial empire building contractors.
2. Sort the bloody terminal out!! It is an absolute shambles, I don't know what excuses they have for the way they operate but it ain't normal. It certainly doesn't make people want to pay a bit extra to use the local airport. Gawd you really have to be bad for people to be willing to subject themselves to the Stanstead experence when they have a local airport 10mins away in a taxi.
3. CAS why o why are you pissing money up the wall with this when your taxiways are in bits? I presume you have been suckered by the lowco's that they will operate services in there if you do get it. So so many regional airports have been suckered by this, buying radar etc to only find they operate in for 3 months and then decide its not worth it.
4. Pax tax it really pisses people off especially when you piss it up the wall with CAS . See point 3 about people using another airport.
5. GA you ain't busy, the tarmac isn't going anywhere, its not getting worn out by a 2 ton spam can, the ATCO's are being payed for. Have decent prices for both training and visitors. If the admin is deemed to cost alot have a way to get round it. eg a block of 20 landings for 250 quid or charge 15 quid cash. Get a self handling system in. Inverness just has a room in the C and you fill out a form with card payment details or cash and post it in a box. But for gawds sake stick the C somewhere sensible that doesn't involve having anything to do with security or the terminal.
At the moment you have pilots that don't like operating into the place, pax who begrudge paying pax tax and the ball ache of going through the terminal.
And an airport who has its head deeply buried in the sand telling itself that its doing all the right things when it is patently obvious to outsiders that it has cancer and its touch and go if its curable.
