Unfortunately, the Flying Club at Aberdeen, such as it was, has been shut down. Bit of a no brainer after Signature put the parking fees up 840%.
Email came out on Friday night - the last few sentances sum it up:
"The fact is that large airports and large commercial operators/handling agents simply do not want Flying Clubs on their airports. This massive and unreasonable rent increase reinforces this fact but sadly there is nothing we can do."
At £16+ per touch & go, it's hardly been a hive of training activity anyway with most people going to Inverness/Dundee - but it's a shame, and for everyone still parking there, it's one less voice. Aberdeen must be one of the most isolated places to be a non-group/owning PPL now, with Dundee the nearest bet.
