Svein, I have more sympathy with the Italians in their current predicament than I have for the Belgians! I suppose that although irritating, a one off tax of 90 odd euros for a Europa wouldn’t be prohibitive for a week spent in Italy ( which I have to say is one of my favourite places to fly), and if they are going to charge on a per day or week basis then it amounts to nothing much. There is the point that as long as flying in from the EU , one is allowed to land at any strip however small so that avoiding it might not prove too difficult, although not to drop in on such places as Venice, Verona, Ravenna and Rome Urbe when in Italy would lose out on much of the point of going there. We will have to wait & see.
As to Belgium, they have gone quiet since my last letter to them (attached for your amusement!). Probably the next thing I shall know is that 2 heavies will turn up at my door to collect the 86 euros + expenses or take my TV in lieu!
Regards, David, G-XSDJ
