Should be a great regional airport but fails on so many levels. From ridiculously overpriced parking (drop off to long stay), a baggage belt that always breaks down under load and has done for many years, grubby departure area, gloomy pier to/from gates and and grossly overpriced food and drinks. Lack of routes also lets the airport down with Jet2 dominating and thus charging over inflated prices to most popular destinations. I often feel ashamed of my local airport when arriving on an inbound flight. There are positives such as great security and immigration areas (efficient and polite staff), and a smart duty free area. First impressions at an airport are vital for our region as a whole. The management need to take a ride up the road to Edinburgh airport to get up to date with how an airport should be run.
