SAS to introduce scheduled services between Copenhagen and H
Scandinavian Airlines System are to introduce a scheduled service between Copenhagen and Humberside. It will commence on 28th October 2013 and will be operated on five days per week.
Over the years, Humberside has been very successful at attracting major flag carriers. As well as the current KLM services, there have been scheduled offerings from British Airways, Air France, Icelandair and Sabena. There have also been charters operated by Austrian Airlines and Air Malta.
Humberside Airport wins another consumer award
Humberside Airport has been rated as the second best airport in the United Kingdom by The Consumers' Association, the publishers of Which? Further information is available on the websites located at which.co.uk and airhumberside.proboards.com
airside trolleys
Modern airports provide airside trolleys, which fit inside toilet cubicles for security. Heathrow is too mean. This is an important facility for mothers carrying necessities for small children and for elderly passengers who find the trolleys convenient to lean on, while wheeling their cabin luggage and duty free purchases. I have heard LHR staff comment that they are fed up with collecting and stacking the trolleys. Apparently this is not a problem for staff at Amsterdam, Zurich and other modern, customer friendly airports.
Fabulous place - will definitely return1
We recently visited this airstrip to be met with the warmest hospitality and as a result, had a fabulous trip to West Bay and the Dorset Coast. Thanks to Phil Parmiter for all his help and assistance. Rob and Deborah McKellar

Great airfield, friendly and helpful staff
It's great Bembridge is fully open again and I can vouch the staff are friendly and helpful. I go there frequently in my R44 heli; make a day of it and eat at the Propeller Inn, adjacent to the airfield, or walk to the Crab and Lobster Inn (about 30 mins along beach).
new name
Kemble airport renamed Cotswold airport

Loved it, my son was crew chief on F 15's years back.
airfield info
Mainly microlights fly from here. Most of the old ww2 airfield is put over to Saturday and Sunday markets on the hardstanding of the old runways. One runway is used to park/store vehicles. The old control tower can still be seen tho dwarfed by a telephone mast.
airshows and museum
Sywell has a great airshow every two years (next one 2014) and a excellent free admission aviation museum, open from march to October.
Intro
Learned to fly there in mid 70s. First to use first tar runway,m which we build with stones from the former railway line. Once you have soloed there no airfield will appear daunting, since the runmway is the worlds narrowest aircraft deck, which seldom points into wind. Still a great place to fly/soar/tour, all year round. Got my Gold height in Jnauary, Diamond in June, it really is all year soaring, but just a touch cool in winter

Tristars and VC10s
The reason the RAF doesn't use VC10s for passenger is because they are old, knackered and there would be absolute bloody uproar if one came down whilst full of soldiers. Tristars are a similar story, they were twenty years old when the RAF got them in the early nineties, and as a result are similarly knackered, and spend a lot of time being fixed.
This is why the MoD has replaced these aircraft with the lovely new, fuel efficient A330 Voyager MRTT.
And the RAF charter in civilian carriers for the same reason other airlines charter aircraft, when demand for airtrooping exceeds the RAFs ability to supply it.

re: HEATHROW DE LONDRES UN AEROPUERTO PROFESIONAL
Reply to @ELICE: en mi experiencia, el única problema serio con Heathrow es la espera larga en las aduanas. En otros aspectos, me parece un buen aeropuerto, y es fácil llegar al centro de Londres desde allí.
