If we're paying taxes for the aviation sector, it sounds fair that it should be spent on developing aviation infrastructure, such as a Class-E system, free landing fees, and cheaper CAA fees.
If only that's how it worked in the UK
but the Government pays not a penny from it's aviation taxes to anything within aviation. The CAA and NATS, although different types of company (one wholly government, the other part government- part private), are both expected to pay their own way and cost the government nothing. Indeed Nu Labour will probably sell off a good portion of their share in NATS come the end of January. They don't care about the public and the infrastructure we deserve. They care about lining their pockets and trying to patch up their shocking economic policies.
As a further example of their greed, they are even looking to charge frequency useage in the aviation band, regardless of the fact that it is primarily for air safety.
politicians. I'd shoot every last one of them.
