Privatised AsA could be sooner than later....
AsA is now billing Archerfield Airport Corp. directly for the tower.
Apparently this will gradually happen at all other tower locations.
Advantages for AsA with a 'For Sale' sign on the front door;
*No more nasty aircraft owners to deal with.
*Big Fat Invoices to fewer customers.
*Easier for the new (future) owner to sell off individual Towers to the airports themselves.
Advantages for current airport owners (using same model as A.A.C.);
*One Invoice for all services (easier to hide charges, easier to increase charges i.e. blame increased tower costs etc).
*H24 charge in place, All movements still charged full price - even when the tower is not active.
