WHY not have commercial air flights from Elvington? Air travellers would save time and money flying from Elvington to London Heathrow or Gatwick airports.

People going on holiday overseas would be more refreshed for not having to travel by car or rail for hours before stepping on to the plane. How many York people have arrived at airports tired and irritable after being held up in traffic jams or late trains? I have. Give Elvington Air Park a chance to prove the point York needs an air link.
