Thanks to Bookworm for noticing our efforts and to all visitors who've made encouraging noises about myself and Emma and our efforts for GA at Coventry. We've just finished extending the terminal so do come soon to sit in our comfy new lounge. Very soon there'll be an online briefing system too!
The comments about price 'hikes' are justified but people forget some important things: -
1) CVT prices were artifically low at a time when all others were rising. A phased increase would have played out better but, nevertheless, the result would have been the same.
2) Resident aircraft get good landing fee deals to compensate for the parking costs, which are calculated at this level because of a limit to the parking space available.
3) It's an dual ILS 24 hours airport with no mandatory handling which is rare these days! Compare it with Leeds, Newcastle and Bournemouth which offer similar facilities but for somewhat more money and you start to see the amazing value of Coventry. Of course, when you compare it with a grass strip or non-ICAO dawn-til-dusk, non-landing-aid-field I guess CVT costs more - but for obvious reasons.
We're committed to giving visiting aircraft a good service and warm welcome. Thanks for your support.
