SAS,
I don't think the RAAF can even provide enough controllers to run 24hr ops there. If they were going to get it, it would be in conjunction with another military force of ATC's. I reckon the contract will go ahead to a civil organisation, just like Kandahar up the road. In fact KBR already have the contract and are only looking for a sub-contractor to provide ATC services. As good as your info is, I don't think it's correct.
