Aero-News Quote of the Day

“This measure not only fine-tunes and provides greater clarity on the application of State aids, but it as well offers a level of flexibility for the small regional airports that are most dependent on these funds.

This value must be recognized as part of the economic sustainability of small airports; not just self-generated income alone.”
