Would that be on the same GAT that's completely empty most days?
Kind of says it all doesn't it? What a shame.
PH controllers are always great and it's a good experience flying in and out of there. There must be a massive market for GA travel into and from PH but it's driven away by the pricing. Is it that difficult to make a grass parking area for visiting light GA near the GAT and set a reasonable landing fee say £20 or whatever it would be after NATS take their cut of it too with overnight parking charges of something reasonable to make a weekend stay of less than £three figures and for the airport still to make reasonable profit off it? Even taking into account security arrangements etc. surely this is entirely feasable? The airspace and capacity fitting in with arrivals/departures is there, the controllers are good at it, never understood why GA is kept away, unless there's some sort of plan in the pipeline to turn PH into an intergalactic spaceport with massive spaceplanes taking off & landing every 30 seconds...
