We could go into a long political discussion on why the USA has always been pro GA while Europe NOT!
The USA because there was often hundreds of miles between cities and GA offered a cost effective means of travel.
Europe is fairly new! a mix of individual countries many from left wing backgrounds with little or no GA preferring to keep their citizens in people carriers!
All air travel confined to state controlled carriers and not to individuals with money to buy such aircraft or move freely in our skies.
Hopefully GA will increasingly be seen as a viable business tool
