Any ideas?

Which is why it is a good idea to do a fighter sweep for a turn or two before sending the paratroops. You'll lose a lot less transports that way.

Status: offline 		Same problem for me, trying to drop paras on an unoccupied base with no air opposition either.....they will not go, the transport a/c default to supply transport the next turn. This issue was raised several weeks back but I dont think we got an answer......
