I think it is back to the opening hours of the last couple of years. But agree it’s only a small window.

Alright, UTC time then…

Its 1800 local and 1700 GMT

The NOTAM did come after all. Now whilst 17 local still is a joke as closing time in months like June, at least this now allows weekend trips to Cambridge again.

Now the only thing that happen is that all the various Corona related travel restrictions need to be lifted and there might be a change for a nice trip in late summer.

Would be great if they are open on weekends !

Yes, nothing in Notams and the AIP on hours (May21), also remark 12 in AIP on “immigration flight approval” need to be arranged for flights inbound from outside CTA (e.g. CI, Ireland & UK), say France, well this is inline with it being Customs airport and Police designated (ok for CI & NI flights) but not Immigration Airport (so CTA only) and has no Certificate of Agreement, the funny bit a private grass strip does not need any “immigration flight approval” from EU, just sending GAR does the job !

Time for a fly-in?

Good news, finally. No NOTAM yet though, two days before this supposed date…

A pity this comes in a year when few people will make use of it. The Duxford events are also cancelled, except Battle of Britain, which has not (yet?) been cancelled.

Cambridge posted an announcement on their website that they will be open 7 days a week again:

I think it’s more deliberate policy than mismanagement. They want to move out and sell the site for housing development, so why would they not run it down in the final few years?

They want to ensure that eventual closure is a low key event with the gates quietly locked for the last time. They don’t want thriving flying schools and clubs turfed out on the last day in a wave of bad publicity and ‘save our airport’ stuff that could cause problems with the planning applications.
