    Interesting as per IAA website its the most current; effective date 11/12/14.

    The Waterford airport data was updated on 18 Sept 2014.
    The approach pages were not updated at that time so maybe they did not need updating?
    They haven't updated the parking chart then maybe officially, nothing has changed since 2003 in that regard.
    Used to fit 3 ATR 72's/BAe146's plus a couple of business jets
    Perhaps you should tell them they have it wrong.

    Looking at the chart its well out of date - There has been 2 ramp extensions since 2003. Is there a cost to updating the charts ?

    Compared to 2 ramp extensions I doubt it.


    Usual procedure is to issue an AIP SUP advising of the intended works and approximate start /end dates.
    Issue a NOTAM when the works commence/finish.

    As part of the AIP SUP they would have a map indicating the proposed works area(s) (see the AIP SUP 23/2014 regarding an apron extension in Dublin).
    Some one has to draw the map.

    If there has been 2 extensions to the ramp then some one in Waterford feels that the world doesn't need to know about it.

    I am not disputing your claim.

    What I am saying is that the official declared number of stands in Waterford is 1.

    From other posts I believe you are employed in the airport.

    If you believe the information is incorrect then you should speak to someone about getting this corrected.

    Your misreading the chart. It is not stating the amount of stands but highlighting the legend/key/symbol for stand numbering.

    Its a very bad layout but the same on all regional airport charts.

    Either that or Knock/Galway/Kerry all have 1 stand!

    For you info Waterford has 2 ICAO marked stands and three non ICAO.

    Knock AD 2.24-1 has 3 stands. Diagram on top left of page. Aircraft sizes and parking instructions on bottom of page; dated 9 April 2009.

    Galway AD 2.24-1 has 2 main stands and a number of other parking positions. Diagram on top left of page. Co-ordinates and instructions on the bottom of the page; dated 28 June 2012.

    Kerry AD 2.24-1 has 2 stands on the East apron and a further 3 on the West apron. Diagram on top left of page. Co-ordinates and parking instructions on the bottom of the page; dated 13 Nov 2014.

    For you info Waterford has 2 ICAO marked stands
    Your misreading the chart.
    It is not stating the amount of stands but highlighting the legend/key/symbol for stand numbering.

    Waterford AD 2.24-1 has 1 stand and its clearly marked on the bottom right of the page with a little diagram of the ramp.
    Further instructions and its actual co-ordinates are on the bottom of the page too.

    I would suggest that if your claim is correct then contact Waterford airport and advise them that the official published information is incorrect.

    and three non ICAO.

    Curious as to what a "non ICAO" stand is and what can be parked there.
    I would assume that for an Airport all stands must conform to international ICAO standards.

    Waterford will have no scheduled flights in a few weeks.

    The little regional operators have scaled back their operations out of the irish regional airports.

    Stobart- Left Shannon completely, dropping 7 daily flights.

    Flybe- Cut Birmingham from Knock and Waterford.

    Waterford Airport has four check-in desks, an information desk, two boarding gates and two baggage carousels

    Aww, it sounds so cute. I want to take a flight from there sometime.

    Manual as opposed to automatic! :D

    On the contrary, I'd pick Waterford any day and avoid the chaos at Dublin airport if I lived closer.
