I find it somewhat unlikely that an election would be decided on that particular issue only.
I suspect I know more about the mechanics of winning elections than you do. In my ward our majority last year was
twelve. I can absolutely assure you that we can do without being seen as defenders of rich men's hobbies, particularly by the pensioners living in council flats. It would only take
seven people to vote the other way ...
better differentiate landing fees ...
Yes, indeed, airfields can take views on whether the want to charge particular classes of customers "gross cost plus profit margin" or "marginal cost with no profit margin" or something in between, and that's up to them. If the airfield is owned by a family firm they've got more freedom than if they've got outside shareholders to answer to under company law.
