For those capable for sure! Or who can handle the air quality up there!
But your average tourist aint going trecking to the far reaches, especially when an hour or less tour, you see it all and don't even sweat. Then back to beautiuful Kona or Maui!
I don't see banning the flights, but putting them under FAA dictated rules! In and out at the previously agreed to corridor (below Eden Roc)on he volcano side and however, below(crossing 130).
You can be sure the companies won't stick with any agreement, they change hands too often, it would have to be FAA dictated, and would only apply to paying passenger flights!
