Could be good for regional airports getting more flights.
Maybe Baldonnel?
Given that Bal is the only military airfield and will always be military staffed, this has zero applications for the IAC. Why would you want to control it from any other location? There are no benefits to that.
But it sure is cool.

But who then will provide ATC when the fly boys go overseas with their helis??An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost.

Originally posted by The real Jack View PostCouldn't ATC for bal be done by Dublin airport? You're talking tens of movements per day surely.
The role of the Air Corps under the Defence Act is to contribute to the security of the State by providing for the Military Air Defence of its airspace. However in times of peace it is more usual for the Air Corps to fulfil the roles assigned by Government through the deployment of a well motivated and effective Air Corps.
