please take me up on my offer of odds of 25/1 that nsl will NOT be sold by 2015. i accept paypal or personal cheque (allow 5 days to clear)
We were talking about a sale of NATS. Selling off NSL is a different matter. NSL is already effectively a separate company and increasingly it will separate from the rest of the group. It has to do that because unless it starts to make inroads into its costs it will soon reach a point where it isn't competitive because you can't make a profit on many airport contracts with NATS terms and conditions. Whether or not the shares are sold to somebody else or retained by NATS is largely irrelevant because the drivers on the business will be the same.
