Getting to Fairoaks by Air
Note: This information is taken from non-copyright sources which we believe are supplied by the airport management. Absolutely no liability is accepted for incompleteness or inaccuracy although we try very hard to make sure this sort of thing is minimised. Best option is to check with Fairoaks Tower on 01276 857300 fax 856898. In early 2000 they actually added joining and leaveing procedures to the Alan Mann Group website, so you can check out some details there too on the Fairoaks Airport page. Oddly, they omitted some aspects things like AMSL, runway length, operating hours etc etc - for which see below!

Always worth checking the Nav & Met page too, that includes NOTAMs and the like
