LT-DT,
Good point and not only BK and CN, I'd suggest JT and the other GAAP aerodromes will fall into the same basket.

I would be interested to know exactly what out clauses are in the 99 yr leases which would allow the govt to turn around and say "OK the airport is no longer viable, the GA market has taken a turn for the worse, so all you airport owners can now purchase the land outright and develop as you see fit". Creampuff - what are your thoughts on this?

If ever there was a chance for Dick to convince us that he is really a champion of GA then this is his opportunity. But I guess we'll never know what conversations go on behind the closed doors between government ministers, high profile enthusiasts and airport leaseholders.
