BK Airport Master Plan

Just noticed a couple of items in the propaganda that accompanied the usual monthly extortion note from BK... (I think they call it a Master Plan)

'The discounts we offer flying schools are made possible by income we generate from retail operations, such as Aldi supermarkets and the Bunnings hardware shop'.

Humm!

'We are currently developing an aeronautical charging model that consists of movement charges and parking charges, bringing our charges in line with most other airports accross Australia. We wil consult widely before this is introduced'

No more worries there then. (errr, which 'most other' airports might that be specifically? SY, ML maybe?)

Here's the best bits...

'Bankstown Airport is a great place to do business'

'The NSW Governemnt has identified the airport as a key piece of infrastructure and investment will contiue. '

Good on yer Maurice! nice to know its recognised as 'infrastucture', which sort of implies some role within and for the community... Some were thinking them airport folk just wanted to make money!

'We all want the airport to succeed.'

Phew - and to think some of us were getting worried about the place!
