Bigger airports kicking out General Aviation!
I am beginning to notice that lots of growing airports like Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Doncaster, Bristol, etc, are starting to expand in such a way that it is making it harder and more EXPENSIVE for general aviation pilots to get into them.
I am a PPL currently building hours to start moving up the ladder, and love being around a true airport environment.
However, my home airport Leeds Bradford, seems to be GA unfriendly, closing down rwy 09/27 which was perfect because at LBA the wind is usually from the west, but no we have to use the main 14/32 which is often above the X/W limit. Also, the costs are going up and they aint to interested in helping you.
Airports like doncaster, liverpool, bristol, inverness etc etc, and starting to move that way too.
I would appreciate all comments on this.
