Yes these fees, which are not profit based ta es as you incorrectly stated, can destroy a fledgling company.
Those fuel taxes pay for essential services directly related to their use of our airspace. If they can't run a profitable company without tax payers directly or indirectly subsidizing them, then the free market says they should die to make room for someone who can.
I'll take more space flights, please.
If you want more spaceflights, fund NASA. Private companies that depend on public money are nothing but parasites. Elmo and Bozo burn their own money on their silly vanity space companies.
Public private partnerships are theft. Every dollar they profit is a dollar that didn't go to providing the service we're paying for. This isn't complicated.
