Kevin Psutka, head of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) says Nav Canada’s unilateral decision to impose daily fees on GA aircraft using the country’s seven largest airports is an example of what privatization can lead to in the hands of a monopoly. “Everybody in the country should be writing their member of parliament about this,” he said, and further stated that U.S. Aviators would be wise to consider what’s happening north of the border as user fees hang over our heads.
USPA feels that airspace system management is a government function, already paid for by taxes. Once again we see the airlines targeting GA to ease their financial woes.
WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS TODAY. And if you’ve already written them, DO IT AGAIN! They need to know how we feel, or the airline lobbyists will earn their money, and we will pay dearly.
