The future of Nats

I have been following Nats' for the last decade, and must say that the loss of Gatwick and Birmingham was surprising, albeit perhaps necessary in order for Nats to finally begin to seriously consider how to compete against DFS (which is a company that I have seen grow and improve dramatically in recent years). However, the loss of Gatwick in particular must hurt, as it should. I expect that Nats will increase its focus to Europe in light of the entering of DFS in the UK market, but the question is where. Expansion of their operations in Spain is obvious, but are there any other markets that seem reasonable? I've been looking at Sweden as a potentially viable market for Nats, albeit doesn't seem too attractive due to its limited potential, but a combination of several Nordic markets might make more sense? What do you think? Will Nats try to win bids in Sweden?
