Lewis Haldenby 974268 Posted November 8, 2006 at 08:01 PM Posted November 8, 2006 at 08:01 PM I'm in the very first stages of setting up a virtual airline, which will be flying single and twin piston aircraft from Biggin Hill [EGKB] as an air taxi service. When I first start flying, I will only be doing 2 or 3 routes (eg, Biggin Hill - AIRFIELD 1 - AIRFIELD 2 - Biggin Hill), but I need to choose two airfields to fly to. Any suggestions? I was thinking Cambridge as one, but there doesn't seem to be much ATC activity there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Spink 811859 Posted November 9, 2006 at 12:29 AM Posted November 9, 2006 at 12:29 AM I used to work with an Air charter company that in 2001 almost started a regular air taxi service from Exeter to Biggin Hill, Guernsey and Birmingham using PA31 Navajos. Sadly the repurcussions of 9/11 meant the idea was shelved. Both of these airports have ATC on VATSIM - just an idea.

Sean Reedman Posted November 9, 2006 at 10:48 AM Posted November 9, 2006 at 10:48 AM Luton is a good one as it is fairly close to London with good virtual rail links and is normally well staffed - try to keep away from the majors and use regionals Sean Reedman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Fletcher Posted December 12, 2006 at 10:36 AM Posted December 12, 2006 at 10:36 AM yep lots of airports that get opened and best (most open airfields) time is on Sunday evenings UK time ill add EGBJ to the list too there open on Tuesday evenings too and provide a great VFR service if you into that. you could even consider a pop over the sea to jersey or even local airfields in France. Yours Darren Fletcher p.s. its great to see some smaller flights pottering about to even more stranger airfields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping EGNS will do too EGNS has alllllways had a reputation Best summers, worst winters. When the winds change to easterly you do NOT want to be flying lol! But yeah, if you want a nice x-wind practise airport, come try out EGNS for an interesting destination. Martyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
