So I am planning on a short flight tomorrow to drop somebody off at Prague – I asked for a quote for a basic drop off no other services and I got the below, 72 euros mandatory handling !! to basically walk from the plane to the GA terminal, I tried the email the @vielke suggested but I have not gotten a response yet, and the landing fee is more basically cost plus for the landing fee from the airport (40 euros + their value add)
Basic Handling : 72,- Eur (incl pax/crew trsp fr/to Aircraft to GAT;wx+notam info,arrange Airport slot )
Transfer pax from GAT to T1/T2: 20,-Eur per 1 ride
Landing fee : 54,- Eur
Parking: 1,2- Eur per 1hour /approx – depands on the parking position
Pax tax : 34,- Eur/per 1 departure pax
PRM tax : 0,2 Eur/per 1 pax
Airport Slot cooord fee : 0,8,-Eur
All prices are incl VAT for PVT flts.
wait a minute a got a quote from the other handler and its so much better!!, the landing fee is down to 44euros, but the handling is back up to 90euros… boo hooo
Good morning,

That comes to €185 which is fairly normal for LKPR 
May I suggest LKVO as more convenient IFR option?

LKKB as such won’t be very expensive, but it’s a military field, so getting a permission is quite tricky.
Has that changed recently? I just checked the AIP and it makes no mention whatsoever PPR for civil aircraft. (It does for state aircraft). (I realise Letnany is the better choise but if you need an IFR alternate…)
@Airborne_Again, you overlooked the classification: LKKB is a military aerodrome, not a public one. You may, however, be able to convince them to give you a cloudbreak, and then you just sidestep off the ILS and get to LKLT. On the other hand, the availability of LKVO has improved lately. If push comes to shove, LKPR isn’t terribly expensive, either (see current fees here); if you park on the South apron, you don’t need the bus, you can just walk out to the terminal.

Actually I didn’t. But to me “military” only refers to who is operating the airport. Be it a public, private or military airport published in the civil AIP, if there is no mention of PPR then I wouldn’t expect that prior permission would be required.

Hm. Having to convince them in the air doesn’t sound like a good plan…
@Airborne_Again, unlike some other EU countries, there is no concession for public use of military airfields in Czechia. There are some civilian users based there, but they are an exception, not a rule (mostly state or military contractors, etc.). The presidential aircraft are also based there, so I can’t exclude it may also be used by visiting foreign dignitaries.
As to cloudbreaks, I don’t know the details, all I know is a story of the guy based at LKLT who used the ILS at LKKB on one occasion and cancelled IFR at DA. I’ll ask when I have a chance, but it may not be soon.

I don’t doubt you. I just find it strange that in that case there is no mention of PPR in the airport pages of the AIP. Anyway, I just found the PPR requirement in AIP AD 1.1.2

Maybe they know at Letnany?
