I am aware that the ATC staff at Newcastle are employed by NIAL and given the strong regional identity in the North East I would be surprised if the ATS was ever put up for tender by Newcastle Airport Ltd. However the recent opening of the new £8 million ATC tower of which the systems were installed by NSL could be a possible indication to an eventual NATS takeover?
