Would say you right. Ryanair from 21 December began operating there Fri and Sun flights between KIR-STN in the evenings from the afternoon. If KIR can manage it then why can't NOC at most it would add 3 hours once a week. Its open until around 17.00 as it is on a Friday and I see no reason why they couldn't keep it open till 20.00 at least.
