From a purely personal point of view, I am embarrassed and ashamed that my place is one of those is one of those which has hiked fees to make it a considerable financial disatvantage to GA to visit, or even operate as a based operator.
With us , we have our commercial customers to look after, which I accept is obviously the priority for the airport operator, so why not keep GA separate and be looked after at no extra cost on another part of the airfield?
Despite at leats two operators offering to give GA a home, nowt has been done and this really pisses me off.

We've never made any money out of GA and never will, so why not encourage their trade and let them do what they do and the commercial op's pay our way?
