This started in Apr 2007 to fund an £18M upgrade (it was £3 for adults £1 per child). 17 years later it is £10 per adult, Average 400,000+ passengers a year…
Would love to know where all the money has gone as can’t see where they have spent any on the terminal.

So can anyone confirm the rumour about Ryanair and the ADF then? Seeing it mentioned all over the place but no actual proof yet.
I'm flying Ryanair from Stansted again this summer as the timings don't work out for me but really hope this is the start of something good.

Yes it's correct, someone flew out yesterday and confirmed to me no £10 fee.

Thanks, wonder how they are doing this - do they give you a QR to get through the gates? I really want to see Ryanair succeed from Norwich but as a regular KLM passenger and long time user of the airport this selective applying of the fee is pretty annoying and bound to p off other passengers too. I wonder what KLM themselves think? I remember how bad departures used to be but it's been a long time since the last refurb now.

But the airport website still says "all adult passengers departing from Norwich Airport will be required to pay the development fee" and tickets have to be "obtained from the check-in desk or customer services desk if the fee is collected via the operating airline."

Presumably all other airlines could also have collected it as part of the normal fees though if Norwich had let them? You always used to have to pay the fee at a terminal by security, it gave you a QR code that then opened gates to let you enter the security check area. I guess they could program them to let Ryanair boarding card QR codes through?
The terminal is quite nice now, when the toilets were in the middle of departures and the bar and cafe were where the toilets are now it was horrible cramped.

If this is the case, then it marks a change of attitude by Ryanair and/or other operators. When Blackpool Airport did this, both Ryanair and Jet2 moved out almost immediately, and now there are no commercial flights from Blackpool.
