End of City Jet flights - Should we be surprised?
No surprise. As with similar attempts at OXF, the demise of PLH and now (most likely) BLK; the struggles at DTV and DCS, what is it telling us? It says that small airfields cannot sustain scheduled airline flights against the offering at not so far away larger established airports. And that is not a bad thing because in the UK no-one is very far from an airport offering a range of services. We need to get back to this reality. Small airfields have an important role in providing a facility for niche markets, flying training, maintenance, and private flying clubs. All these things are needed and usually cannot be accommodated viably at the larger airfields. Horses for courses.
