The idea is brilliant but it does mean well paid professional jobs will be moved away from the islands. The article describing remote towers does have few bloopers though. Power and internet. Generators and batteries will guarantee power supply and satellite communications will give a back-up to the internet. So is it worth losing a few local jobs to ensure your airport remains open?
