What like all of our power, water and other utilities are already owned by non U.K. Companies? We don't own a single utility anymore - think more risk that they turn the juice off and water than I cant go on my holidays.

Not saying think it good idea - don't think it good we sold all of those off to Germans, Spanish, French and Chinese already - even just down to fact that all those profits go out of the country, but in reality there no issue who owns air traffic and remember already NATS is partly privatised - there many options as to how it could be sold and split up. And the regulation of it always be government.
