The new FBO is now called Jet Centre by Willis and can be reached at [email protected] or +44 3304 407700.
They are open until 8 pm local (forgot to ask when they open in the morning but they were open at 8 am).
For a DA40 and 2 days of parking, we paid (incl VAT):
£27 landing fee
£30 handling fee
£25.20 parking fee for 2 days
£7.50 airport facility fee (calculated as 25% of handling fee)
Staff were very helpful and friendly, however make sure that you don't get the FBO to call a taxi for you on their account as they charge a 25% markup over the actual taxi fee.
