Very sad news. Yet another flying club needlessly shafted by small-minded airport management and "handling" parasites.

Signature of course at their very best.

Just a wee thought to ponder: with airport charges ever-increasing, what can we do to fight this? I fear that as a minority we (i.e. GA) would seem to be devoid of a voice and certainly too small to be taken notice of by business. However surely we can collectively stand up and put up a fight instead of sitting moaning here on PPRuNE? Many commercial operators are sick of high charges so why doesn't aviation collectively take a stand against it?
