Silver hawk you're spot on. Fr operate to small airfields and pay almost nothing for their services. Starved of money the airfield operators are unable to develop their facilities. While other airlines may also use these stripes Fr use them almost exclusively. There is no free lunch. The parasitic nature of the Fr model which require that facilities are provided by shrinking air forces and maintained to a bare minimum by local government will and does ultimately have a baring on safety and to argue otherwise is either naive or partisan. My condolences to the crew who will no doubt be offered up to cover the wider issue.
