_{I got my PPL at KCMH.}

Mgh, the world does not revolve around Great Britain.

 

Nor does it revolve around the North Americas either. There are 163 Level 3 Coordinated airports world wide. Remember  a Level 3 Coordinated airport is one where it's "impossible to meet demand".

 

 I explained why slots  are valuable both to the  airlines and the airport. If an A380 with 600+ passengers is competing with your little Ccessna 172C with 3 passengers, who is going to get the slot? Not to mention the disruption in feeding a C172 into a stream of airliners from a hold to touch down.

 

...hijacking if this thread...

 

This thread is titled "How often do charter flights fly into major airports?"   and not North American airports only

 

Others referred to Heathrow  before I did and then I went on to explain the reality of operating major airport.

 

Do you object to hijacking the thread with posts about landing at the wrong airport, and getting a PPL there?

I never referenced any particular airport in my first post, North America or England. It was you and Chris Low that needed to make it all about England.

 

I'm sure there are plenty of slots available for a quiet little GA plane at 1am without having to compete with the A380s, in a non airport specufic way.

 

I don't object to little stories about people landing at big airports accidentally, but if you really wanted to help the op, it would be more helpful to answer a general question with a general answer instead of using a unique example that does things differently than most others. If you read my first reply, you'll see that I never referenced any specific airport. But you somehow decided that it was about LHR. Again mgh, it's not always about England.

London Gatwick has business jets in and out every day 

I had no intention of making it "all about England". I simply stated the situation with respect to London Heathrow because I was aware of the limitations at that airport.

Like you, I posted because I actually knew the facts about Heathrow.

 

Why does that upset some people?
