Cumbernauld Airport
Got to vote this place as the direst place I have ever had to land at!
Young staff very helpful but spoilt by a miserable B-----D come airfield manager!
Please take a trip up to Wick or fuel up at total Logistics in Oban and see guys who are helpful and enjoy GA.
Would rather get shafted next time with a handling fee at EGPH!

Strange isn't it that one persons experience can be so different to anothers.
We were three aircraft that landed at Cumbernauld a little while ago and had a very positive and helpful experience including from the airfield manager. We would certainly go there again.

Similar experience, the staff are genuinely helpful and in my case apologetic for the aggressive, foulmouthed (even over the radio) ignorant airfield manager.
Not been back since and barring a mayday never will again.

I have to agree with the above,also the population with Glasgow being nearly 600,000 and this is best we can provide,shocking really.

I have a soft spot for Cumbernauld. After a long flight there in particularly foul IMC, barely in control of the aircraft, Cumbernauld went VMC for me. I could have hugged it. I had the best cup of coffee ever, though it was trembling in my hand.

We didn't even make the front door.(met by the Cumbernauld Airport parking officer who informed me I couldn't leave my car were I had parked it) really should thank him saved me a couple of hundred quid, plan was to grab a coffee and a roll and hire a Pa 28 from Border.
Didn't want to argue as I was with 2 nervous pax so just bought a checklist and left.
Used to be a great place.

Just Google search N531EA then click

an Eclipse 500 looks like.

and with our weather too !

Kenny's bark is worse than his bite......he has just got a funny way of saying he loves you
He has always been very helpful to my self and other ATC colleuges in the past 
But then there is always the lovely Lisa as a distraction
