View Full Version : Norwich
I heard on the news today that Norwich is one of the airports affected by low visibility. The airport has been charging a passenger tax - now £10 - for some considerable time 'for airport development'. As far as I can see, no money has been spent on landing aids in donkeys year. Anyone out there know which other airports (UK) charge a tax and what they spend the money on?

NQY changes a fiver a pop and off the top of my head what in theory it's spent on is shown on the website.

Blackpool charges a £10 ADF for all departing passengers 16 years and over. Again, visit the airport website to see what the airport spends this income on.

Not quite sure what they spend there's on either but it may be on their website.

Norwich has CAT 1 ILS on 27 with a 200ft DH for all aircraft categories. 09 has an NDB approach which has a 443ft MDH for typical Cat C airliners. Given the traffic levels I don't think one can expect investment that would significantly lower those minima. A lot of people think that just because Heathrow etc have autoland, one should be able to get into any airport irrespective of the weather. Unrealistic in my view.
