Oberpfaffenhofen Airport (EDMO)

PPR required. Modern GA terminal, friendly Bavarian atmosphere, good option for Munich downtown access. All in all ok but with some issues regarding fuel and passport control. Jet A fuel available (Note: WFS fuel release is not accepted). First issue: It seems the Ops office did not forward the pre-emailed fuel release to the fueling company, which caused a delay on two separate occasions as the release had to be sent to the fueler directly which didn't work straight away ("I can't open the pdf..."). Also once the release was sent it was rejected ("we don't accept WFS.."). If the ops office would have replied that right away a few days before the flight, a different release could have been arranged 🤷‍♂️. Second issue was passport control 🛂. Even though departure movement and requirement for passport control was advised early in advance, the waiting time and subsequent delay, for police to show up, was 1 hour. And this with a CTOT down the back causes unnecessary stress and pressure which is detrimental to flight safety. EUropean aviation at its best 💩. Reason given was that there is no police stationed at the airport and a regular patrol unit does passport checks and it "always takes so long...". So for intra EU/intra Schengen EDMO is a good option with a friendly vibe but for non EU/non Schengen beware and bring plenty of time, then it should be fine. Landing/handling/parking fee for 2 nights with a few pax was about 1700€ incl. VAT for 9000kg MTOM.
