CORONA DISRUPTION WARNING! CALL/CONTACT THEM BEFORE ARRIVING TO AVOID SURPRISES.
My three previous visits to EPPO were hassle free. They used to park me in front of the GA terminal and I could just walk to the terminal door without any need to order/pay for handling. The landings fees were (and still are) decent - for a commercial airport at least.
However this time the GA terminal was closed due Covid and thus I was required to order handling if I wanted to leave airside (which was the case). I was charged 380 PLN just for a bus ride to/from the terminal building. There was also hassle on returning to the plane. I spent lovely ten minutes listening to the handling agent convincing one security guard that - being the aircraft operator myself - I do not require an operator-issued Crew ID to enter airside and my EASA license is good enough.
