| Q |
Can air taxis operate into any airfield
or airport? |
| A |
In good weather they can fly into most
airfields but if the weather is poor (fog, low cloud etc.) only larger
airports with radar and approach facilities can be used. All aircraft
types have differing runway requirements and these are also affected by
weather. |
| Q |
What is the cost of an air taxi? |
| A |
The cost is worked out per flying hour
plus landing and ground handling fees and waiting time. All flying time is
included and will include the time taken to position to and from the
aircraft's base. Hourly costs vary depending on the aircraft type and
operating costs. |
| Q |
What luggage can be carried
in an air taxi? |
| A |
Luggage can be carried but space is limited and because
of the size and shape of the luggage lockers canvas bags and small cases
are preferred. Many piston engined aircraft have special lockers behind
the engines, suitable for golf clubs or skis. |
