How are they going to fulfil their obligation? This is probably more than a third of their customer base. Who is responsible for monitoring whether they breach their commitment on this front? What are the penalties if they breach this commitment?
Don't suppose Rushmoor District Council would have a clue what aircraft was Chapter 3 and which are Chapter 4 if they stood on the ramp all day with their spotter's pen and pad.
