hmmm definately an interesting discussion!

As has been mentioned Weston has neither approach lights or an ILS but the introduction of these would be an great asset for training at the airport. At the moment it really is too small to accomodate commuter flights like those of Aer Arann but there is quite a bit of undeveloped land around the airport - particularly to the west. Any ideas how many AerArann flights would fly in? It would certainly need a lot of development but its not too far fetched IMO!

Of course the local residents would complain - that is to be expected - what i'd like to see,which i think has been touched on before, a campaign by the airport to improve the way it is viewed in the local community - maybe cheaper flying lessons for people in the locality, half-price(or some reductionon) intoductory flights, meetings between airport officials and the community etc. etc.

It could be done ...
