Stakeholders cite potential training impacts as Mesa reviews fee plan.
In addition to sometimes producing more economic damage than benefit, landing fees are a threat to aviation safety and the surrounding communities. They add stress to and complicate pilot decision-making. The best evidence of this is the number of NTSB reports of fuel exhaustion or other accident causes inspired by an attempt to save a few dollars by stretching endurance to reach a distant satellite airport with cheaper avgas or deciding to tanker fuel from a cheaper to higher priced locale.
So, this is like the Chicago supposed freeways with toll booths. Just really ugly. I avoid Chicago like the plague due to their supposed freeway toll booths. Very anti business. Which is a nearly daily problem, socialists ignoring the US Constitution Commerce Clause and 200 years of case law. No one gets to obstruct commerce. So, who ever is hurt the most, can probably get court relief by injecting the US Commerce Clause into this very unbusiness and illegal activity of charging landing fees.
