My post was also a genuine concern at light GA being pushed out of the system by ever increasing costs and thus making light GA a fun pastime rather than a serious travel tool. I can remember years ago flying a PA28 into places like Manchester and Luton for a cup of coffee. What a change now.
Exactly!

Of course we all accept it - and do nothing about it. You will even hear - it is there airport they can do what they like.

Well, I dont subscribe to that view.

There are many reasons why airports shouldnt charge what they like or ban GA.

I hate to drag the Americans into it - but it doesnt happen in the States - and it shouldnt be the case here or in Europe for that matter. Nor, in most cases, is there any justification for it.
