Zooker...with all due respect..Radar? Firstly where is the money going to come from..tax payers again? Where are the additionally rated ATC personal going to come from,when they can’t even get unrated Atcos?
ADditionally hardly any military traffic around these days
.
ILS ? same applies.
didnt I read somwhere that Newcastle offered to do some ATC work on their behalf but it was turned down due cost?Says it all really?
Bottom line is..A transport logistics base was required and hey presto due to smoke and mirrors we have it,without the need for an operational airport and the additional costs and problems that brings..as I said earlier..Result!
