Airport Development Fee (ADF)
What is the Airport Development Fee?
Norwich International introduced the development fee in 2007 to help fund further development of the airport’s infrastructure and passenger facilities. Although the ADF will contribute toward these developments, the vast amount will continue to come from the airport’s majority owners – Omniport.
Who has to pay?
All passengers departing from Norwich International will be required to pay the development fee:
- Adults £5 each
- Children 2 – 15 years £1 each
- Infants £0
Age applies at time of departure – proof of age may be required.
Where do I buy my ticket?
Payment machines are located in the main airport terminal building. You must purchase your ticket before proceeding through security to Departures in order to be able to fly.
What is the ADF money being spent on?
Since 2004/5 the airport has seen a 37% increase in passenger numbers. To meet this increasing demand for flights, Norwich International must continue to develop services, facilities and infrastructure to secure the future sustainability of the airport.
Your Airport Development Fee has helped contribute towards the £15million spent on new facilities at Norwich International Airport since 2004.
Investment to date has included:
- £1.65m main apron upgrade
- 43 new plasma information screens
- £400,000 upgraded radar room
- £4.5m terminal extension
- £100,000 upgraded washroom facilities
- Upgraded/improved arrivals area
- New £2m fire and emergency facilities
Future investment that the ADF will support includes:
- Establishment of controlled airspace to enable more efficient management and routing of the increased level of flights
- Further improvements to the terminal building
Thank you for supporting the growth of your local airport.
