Humberside Airport (EGNJ)

Flew into Humberside Airport on Thursday 25 July inbound from Sturgate and outbound to Blackpool and home. Decent landing fee for this type of airfield (£19.96+VAT, DR400-140B, 1,000kg MAUW). As I was only stopping for a quick ‘pit-stop’, I was parked on the hard-standing adjacent to Eastern Airways ramp and arranged refuelling by bowser. (£1.53+VAT).

Due to Blackpool’s ongoing 45-minute closures, (due to a shortage of ATC staff), the stay at Humberside was a little longer than originally planned. The walk to the terminal is only a short distance, but the café was a bit of a disappointment. I only wanted a cup of tea and a ‘bun’, but it was either a full meal or chocolate. I just had the tea (which, to be fair, was very good and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly), but I had expected a bit more selection.

As you would expect, the ATC, runways, taxiways and parking were top condition and the fees (landing fee only, free parking for the first two hours) were great value.
