Less than 50 kilometres. With a jet. Let that level of misanthropic assholery sink in.
I didn’t know that there even are that many airports so close to each other…
A lot of major cities will have a lot of smaller general aviation airports next to each other.
Anything can be an airport if you are ~~suicidal~~ rich enough.
I drive 130-160km(depending what route I take) a day getting to and from work 5 days a week. It's about 2hrs driving time daily. £70 of fuel a week roughly. The fact that these people are spending probably just as much time, and magnitudes more money to go the same distance.... seems like an angry mob and a BBQ could solve this problem....
