PPR just means you have to get permission. Lots of airfields are PPR, and it's just a matter of making a phone call. In the UK practically ALL airfields are PPR

It's just a question of whether or not the owner is likely to give permission. I can understand NASA not wanting everyone to land there, but if Google is the owner then it would seem to be unfair if they just kept the airport for use by their own jets and their buddies.

Space Act Agreement) NASA would legally have to be reimbursed for costs incurred. Google may no longer be under those constraints. NASA was also reluctant to grant "permission" because certain aircraft generate noise complaints.
