I can understand the reaction tot his and living close to Farnborough I understand Corporate Aviation can also benefit communities through jobs and local expenditure- crew layover accom etc.
However in today's world you do have to be aware that you are a pretty easy target, on things like emissions per person on many corporate jets are a lot higher than airlines for obvious reasons and when you start looking at 737/A319 sizes it is a huge difference pretty indefensible to claim its a business tool. As indeed it is when you see a lot of bizjets from US heading to Caribbean islands
So while I have sympathy and understanding for your position and like aviation anyway I think the corporate sector needs to prepare some defences , a lot more popular to attack the rich than weekenders going to Amsterdam on Easyjet.
