Beags, the lack of controlled airspace around COV is an issue and its going to be addressed. Funny enough you'll not find many oiks on ThompsonFlys Coventry to, say, Venice - or Jeresy - flights. Mostly the passengers will be decerning retired A,B,1,2's such as your good self. Anyway - the class of passenger or reason for travel are immaterial.

The fact is that ten years ago there was no Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 or Globespan. These operators of piddly little 737s now have between them over 150 jets based in the UK. That's half the BA fleet! It is therefore not logical to believe no new controlled airspace is required to meet this significant increase in commercial aviation.

New realities, new airspace.

Cheers
