Microlight School Price Increase
Hi.
I notice that Keith Reynolds from Rochester microlights has increased his hourly flying lesson rate from £110 to £120. He operates 2 fixed wing micros (the jabi & thruster) from Upminster.
I was wondering if a price increase is due to a rise in costs to the company (rent, fuel, insurance, rates etc) or if this is a sign that the school is less successful than it was or its facing challenging times.
I fully appreciate that times are tough in the economy and not as many people have the disposable income to compensate for the higher cost of flying in the UK.
I ask this question because I am thinking of taking a few lessons myself and was curious as to whether a price increase is normal for this type of industry or if this shows signs of something else.
Regards,
Alex
