H1HU Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The new proposals (Consultation Document) by the CAA to increase charges by an inordinate 100% will impose huge additional costs on airshows and aircraft operators which could potentially threaten their existence. If you enjoy seeing historic classic aircraft flying in the UK skies and at the few remaining air shows we have in this country then please could you sign the petition below to show your support for this hike in charges to be reconsidered.. ....

fv1609 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Trouble is above the 'sign the petition' link, there is a link for more details so I can see what I might or might not sign, but the link is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowfat Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Unfortunately the campaign against aviation (CAA) is totally self funding. Therefore the cost will go up due to the extra reviews that they will have to do to cover their collective arses. The fact the headquarters is a at gatwick airport and could be anywhere in the UK obviously bares no relationship to there costs. My take on it is why should tax payers cover the costs of airshows... You want an airshow you pay for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
