At the risk of sounding offensive....what price does it have to go to to kill off all flying at that location? Where is the nearest alternative and how much do they charge?
If the helicopters move out of that site due to costs.....how will they replace that revenue?
What is the break point at which the authorities/airports price themselves out of business?
Who loses when that happens?
Now all you UK CAA/JAA advocates tell me what a grand system you have in the UK....convince me you have a system that will not kill the Golden Goose.
Anyone care to try?
The link takes you to a site that describes my home town airport.....note....no airline operations at the airport, tower open most of the day,
airport open 24 hours per day, Instrument approaches, fuel 24hrs per day, pilot controlled runway lighting,
no telephone booking required, and
NO FEES for the use of the airport, nav facilities, ATC, or Airways.
