I'm...OK, we in GA are pleased with lower fees!<br /><br />I'm not sure GA minds paying the cost of serving it, even if it is tiny.<br />Has the authority figured out what it has lost by introducing a landing fee for GA? How many aircraft owners have moved to other airports or just quit flying as a result of the landing fees? How have the revenues of the fixed base operators and the Ottawa Flying Club, dropped due to the landing fees? While it is good to see the tiny increases in cost will not be passed along, I think I would rather see more complete cost benefit analysis of the fee structure.<br />Finally, when one looks for fixed base operators on the Authority's website only Esso Avitat, Express Air and Innotech Aviation are shown. Why is the Ottawa Flying club not listed? Is there some unstated plan here? Michael Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881160865679740901noreply@blogger.com
