As an AT operator it all boils down to best use of airframes from MOB's with full organic support. I have been to many airfields to collect pax and freight and on more than one occasion been delayed due to u/s loading equipment at airheads not used to large AT moves.

Lack of engineering support has also led to tasks being delayed as we don't have the specialised trade cover or personnel at outlying airbases to fix snags that would possibly be dealt with at Lye or Brize. In the good old days there even used to be spare airframes that you could crossdeck onto and still get the job done!!!

Not to mention airfield opening hours,crash cats,ACN/PCN,GSE and movements support.

We would love to come to you and get you home quicker but in the current climate it ain't gonna happen!!
