Not so Hooded.
There is a dedicated G/A building at the airport, next to the proposed FBO facility, which will handle all of the the non scheduled flights.
Whilst it's true that Peel seem to be only keen on one "Flying Training Organisation" being based at Robin Hood, they are encouraging as much G/A as capacity will permit, and make no secret of the fact that there may come a time when such movements may be severely restricted, but those who have made the commitment to establish and stay will have a unique opportunity.
Personally, I believe that that time is some time away, and those who get in now will be the ones who will reap the long term benefit.

As is often the case with UK businesses, it's a question of who has the balls to make a long term commitment - if this was the U.S., Peel would have been stampeded in the rush.
