Yes, in line with market forces. There is no equivalent for NERL in the UK but there is plenty of competition for providing ATC at airports and I'm sure the likes of SERCO would try to undercut the price NSL quotes for providing an ATC service.
I have heard a rumour and I stress only a rumour, that it costs NSL 1.5million to provide an ATC service at EGCC. Thats a loss of 1.5m. How much longer (if this is true) can high earners like EGLL continue to support the rest?
