Advice for a trip to Limnos/LGLM

Actually, airport fees are acceptable but handling is real disaster. I can imagine that handling was transporting from the plane to terminal building and nothing more.

Exactly, in the quote they even called it Basic Handling.

They charged us the Weekend Surcharge because of the arrival, which was on Saturday. However there was not even the handling agent present when we arrived, just the bus driver and the marshaller… To be fair though we landed 5 minutes before airport closing time, and waited 5 minutes for the marshaller, so by the time we unpacked and secured the plane it was already 10 minutes after the airport closing time so I guess the handling agent just went home ;-)

We got back today. The total cost was 525EUR where airport charges were only 101EUR and the rest were SWISSPORT charges and surcharges! For those who are interested I attach below the photo of the bill.

Well … that 526 Euro bill will be a thing of the past in Limnos as of yesterday.
AOPA in Greece, finally after years of waiting, signed a Ground Handling agreement with SWISSPORT at Limnos LGLM just for that specific airport.
Basic Handling 100€+24%VAT which includes just someone waiting for you and escorting you to/from landside.
Off course there is the needed PPR (which one can process for free on his own with just an email to CAA to avoid Handler doing it and charging for it) and some minor extra charges per passenger on board.

The total bill incl. VAT for, say, 4 people in a GA aircraft should not exceed 150~170€.

All the details can be found in www.aopa.gr/Info towards the end of Paragraph 12.b

That’s similar to majority of bigger airports in Italy or Spain.

Well done petakas!

Emir: very very few big airports in Italy nowadays where you can lan and park for a couple of days for 150-170€.

There are few, depends how you define big: Bergamo, Cagliari, Comiso… just mentioning some where I landed recently.

Emir I understand what you mean but your comment in my humble opinion is off topic.
For the case of Limnos LGLM and this development the issue is that :
Until recently, for years the Handler on site would not sign a Discount Agreement for GA aircraft resulting in charges like the one from 2018 posted by @TomekZ above.
Some circumstances changed and at least nowadays the charge will not be a crazy one.
That’s the story.
From a disaster charge it transformed to a “closer to normal” charge.

That is great news!

Thank you @petakas and AOPA Greece!

Maybe I wasn’t precise in my post but I meant to write exactly what you wrote. And I’m really happy things developed in this way.

Written text hardly transfers the feelings ! Thanks.
