IAC Cost
Three ground crew and two pilots! Commercial operators would not survive if they were using this amount of resources for a job that is bread and butter to them.
Commercial operator, Single pilot and two ground crew, at least 30% saving on manpower alone, without even considering the cost of the IAC 139.
As for commercial operators they are barely surviving, how may have closed in Ireland in the last three to five years! The IAC doing what is CAT flying is not on. If they want to operate in the commercial world they should be subject to Jar OPS 3, IAA and commission for aviation regulation oversight and tender foe it like everyone.
I don't see renovation as aid to the civil power!
