Say Again,
Airlines may not pay tax on fuel, but who pays for ATC in this country? It certainly isn't G/A. Oh that's right, it's paid for by the airlines
ATC exists for the benefit of commercial avaition, not private. So it is just and right that they should pay. In fact, they should pay us for the inconvenience (only kidding). There is the issue of LARS, but then again, without huge amounts of controlled airspace squeezing us into low and/or narrow confines, would we really miss LARS?
Obviously, in many ways private aviation maybe unrecognisable for the worse without commercial aviation, but you get my dift...I hope.
