A friend on the rock heard an interview on the radio this week from one of the management team, stating Jersey must encourage light aircraft.
If they stay over night they spend a lot of money on the island which is more than the yuppies that moore there gin palaces down in the mariners??
Could the problem on the rock be a number of things.
The ATCC Centre being run by contracted NATS the Ops department having a leader who is contracted as well and I understand NATS and light aircraft do not go well together.
Should these two management departments speak to the commercial department and some of the down town departments and sing on the same hymn sheet.
Commercial traffic to the Islands are well down compared to 20 years ago so light aircraft can help fill some of the gap at least the crews of the light aircraft will spend money not loke the blue rinse pregrade.
The Jersey management needs to work together not against each other.
