They're not charging fair value for the service though. They're controlling demand, not charging a fair fee. £20 revenue from a PA28 is not going to cost more than that £20 to look after the aeroplane and leave it parked. If it costs £15 that's still a 33% PTP. If space/slots were an issue then it would be different. But it's not an issue so they're not making any economic sense. (IMHO)!
