France's Phenix Aviation says that despite the economic recession its Super King Air is doing well in a quiet market. The company's Jean Borie says general problems in the private aviation sector include finding qualified and experienced pilots and combating difficulties caused by price cutting.

Le Havre, Borie says, has only one passenger security filter for all traffic. "If boarding has to be made at the same time as a large charter flight, vips can be stuck at the gate."
