Overall Rating
Average
I have frequented this airport a number of times (fly in as private pilot) to visit friends or as a refuelling stop. Gorgeous art deco building (tho could do with a refresh at some point). Nice cafe / restaurant. Great air traffic and airport staff. This time however, was picking up passengers who had mobility needs. Things did not go so well.
Disabled Access In and Around
Bad
They have a disabled access ramp at the front door. Which takes you to a door that was not wide enough for a standard manual wheelchair. No signs / staff to ask (it was a Sunday, so maybe reduced crew), but found a separate disabled access on side of building.
Parking & Transport
Good
Passengers joined via private hire cab.
Accessible Toilets
0Took passenger to toilets, which required steps to get to. Perhaps there was a disabled access toilet but couldn't find it. No signage.
Staff
Average
Airport staff friendly but in airport handling office, not in main building. Restaurant staff not interested if you are not there for the restaurant.
Additional Information
No masks used, no active ventilation.
