Netjets to invest 30 Mio Euro in Egelsbach Airport (near FRA)

Today a read the article below, which says that Netjets would invest 30 Mio € at Egelsbach Airport. Corvest is named as Co-investor.

Do you believe that Netjets would invest such a high amount in times of uncertain eco future?

The money would be better spent relocating their operations HQ to somewhere in the first world!

I never said the UK, so although I was not offended by the 'Monkey Island' incident, it just goes to prove that there is actually some truth to it, as before the UK was even mentioned you are making such references.

If the office was based in any one of the following countries, Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland and yes, the UK, I think we would have a more efficient operation.

But then again, I am just a monkey from the monkey-island so what do I know...what I do know is that we still own something which used to be yours, and funnily enough it is an island inhabited by monkeys!

Apologies to the above poster, you are quite right, we drifted off topic.

My point was a light hearted jab at huge investment plans during a global economic slow down.

The Spainish and French have some things in common. Nationalistic pride (or sulking) for example, taking precedence over air safety.

Is the "antenna" still still erected at the end of the Easterly runway? If it is, then take it down!!

The British owned "Island" of Gibraltar I am referring to.

Yeah exactly, something a brit never has had any stakes in it...Rule, lisboa, lisboa rule the waves!

On Topic: the questions are:

1) do they know that ALL smaller villages around Egelsbach (and FRA) are against any form of expandure? Even ATC contrllers have been seen on anti Egelsbach demonstrations against the longer runway...

2) do they know that it can take ages to get permission for a further stretch in Germany?

3) Egelsbach is very close to EDDF, this will cause problems ATC wise. Don´t expect DFS (German ATC) to be a helpful partner EDDF is their holy grail and anyone else has to suffer from that. EDFE (IFR) departures would cross the centerline of FRA 18, which is the main departure runway...(in fact only used for departures)

If they invest, fine for them. To the rest of the aviation world it just means another airport that handles NJE better than us. This time though it would be obvious why.

Well, what we really need to do is kick the Americans out of Wiesbaden's airport and make it Frankfurt's business aviation airport. But as this is not feasible in the foreseeable future we have to stick to Egelsbach, it loos like...

No, whoever owns EGLF would still have opening hours, movements etc dictated by the local authorities.

I believe EGTC is still very much on the cards as a future NJE stronghold.

EGTC with its fast and easy connections to the financial centre of the universe..... Milton Keynes.
Thought my days of holding at that NDB at Cranfield were long over!
