Great business opportunity.
 
Suprised we can't all club together and get some avgas in. Seems like a license to print money. Buy a lorry load of it, give it to the airport, sell it via the airport, collect a cheque when it's gone.

Fuel issue is a right pain. Have to land at Blackbushe before coming back to Fairoaks. Blackbushe get a lot of landing fees at the momment fro Fairoaks based planes!!. Someone on the field said there is fuel but it would be £2.00 per litre!!! Not sure if he was joking.

I had to take a Saratoga out the other day and it only had 18-20 US Gallons. First stop Balckbushe with not a lot to spare. Uplifted 91 US G and useable fuel in tanks 102. !!!

The fuel people didn't get paid. this is why they are refusing to supply. :ugh:

There is a lot of confusion over ownership of various parts of Fairoaks. SOmeone/company owns the runway - someone else the tower -someone else the buildings - it goes on. It's all a bit of a mysetry and the administrators will have a lot of work to do. I hears Alan Mann wants to buy it back but won't want to pay what they paid for it!! No surpise there. I wouldn't either.

A number of Cirrus operate from Fairoaks now. To answer someone's questions. Worth ringing the tower to find out if the company you're after is there.

Happy flying :ok:

In answer to Plinkton, yes the Cirrus SR22 of One Charter(actually operating under One Air Taxi) is fully operational with a fresh new AOC and Operators certificate.
Seats are now available:ok:
