Sorry - I'm with Beags on this. When this all blew up I had a look at Coventry's live flight data available on their website. Tuesday had
13 Commercial air transport movements between 0600 & 2000 local. That is a miniscule operation, and doesn't warrant the amount of airspace that's being asked for. In addition to which there are, with 1 hour's drive of Coventry, the following Class 'D' airports:
Birmingham
East Midlands
Luton
With Bristol just outside the hour.
Change the airspace - or move the operation. I think we all know what would be a more sensible idea. If Thomsonfly want CAS move somewhere where it already exists. Changing the airspace with the impact not just on GA, but adjoining airspace and operations makes no sense whatsoever.
