I always find it funny that in Europe politicans are saying that privatisation is great. It will save costs and make the market more efficent.

Another thing that is very popular is comparing the European ATC system to the US system. The US system is often listed as having higher productivity and a lower cost base (although I believe ATC delays are higher than in Europe).

However, the US ATC system is run by the FAA, a goverment agency. If the US system is so good, why was the European system privatised?


I think however there's a fundamental error above, I'm trying to apply logic to politicans
