Uuuumm, NATS is effectively 2 different companies now , NSL (airports) and NERL (area) in part pushed that way due to the regulator requiring there be no cross subsidy between the two. NSL must stand on its own 2 feet financially or it would be sold off as no company can continue to be run at a loss.
There are financial savings to be made by 'grouping' all the NSL business together in headquarters type areas, pay, finance, purchasing etc. Der Rot Barron isn't intent on selling off NSL but ensuring that it remains viable by making a profit. If NSL cannot make a profit with its centralised 'admin' headquarters then who out there is likely to be able to without slashing
staff pay costs?
