Why do things have to be made such a mess of?
They don't. Gloucestershire Airport provides a good model for a very busy but relatively informal council run airport with a scheduled service or two.
Oban could be run on similar lines, Gloucesteshire is licenced and has ATC but its very busy, Oban could be run with FISO and licenced only when scheduled services operated.
I'm sure the council could find other work for the many staff when the airport didn't need them
To whom do we write????
