Councils provide libraries for the community. Only 10% of the population use them. Using your argument, funding for libraries should be abolished.

Many small communities in the USA have similar arrangement with carriers so all residents have the ability to use the service that would not exist without some financial assistance .

If you lived in KGL and your daughter /wife/mistress was injured in an accident on the east coast, would you prefer to backtrack a considerable distance, wait for a flight, then fly back over your home town if you have the option of a direct service just because you object to the principle of community support for a service?

If the answer is yes, why bother going at all.
If no, you have agreed that there is a beneft for the whole community for such an arrangement.
