Jersey making things difficult for General Aviation??
.
Jersey could be going down the road of most NATS run airfields??
Not wanting light aircraft????
With a number of the management team on contract from you know where, with the new air traffic centre coming in to operation shortly by start of 2010 and no requirement for any assistants in this new building there is talk that Jersey will be PPR for all GENERAL AVIATION from any where
.
From what I picked up if no PPR requested you will not be accepted and will be turned away??? very unprofessional from a controllers point of view??
In these time is this the best way to go about things.
Light aircraft although they do not pay a big landing fee at the moment comapred to othe rairfields if people are staying a day or two they are putting money in to a number of areas around the Island. Like hiring a car,Hotel accomadation overnight, eating out at resteraunts to name a few.
The only way to go to Jersey is by air or sea so why try and put likght aircraft off from going to Jersey and could this effect the other Islands in the Channel Islands??
