I think this has hit the nail on the head.
I am going to do some pure speculation here: ASA don’t want to build another tower - they want the next one to be remote. Whilst the regs allow it, they and CASA don’t have the ability to make it happen in the medium term. Everything possible is being done to avoid actually putting a control zone around BNA - it’s time to start asking why.
