Exactly. Better than FBOs being forced to ask customers to reposition aircraft to STN, OXF, BIG & SEN. Revenue is revenue at the end of the day and reduces the tug dance which goes on currently pulling/pushing aircraft into every nook.
Rising might not like it as it does not generate the pax payment from Airport operator.
Did they say no to Sky Express yesterday due to parking, who operated an extra flight from SEN due to issues at LHR? We know they applied for slots at Luton so must have a handling arrangement in place in case it was approved.
