Sell Off Airservices..?? 'Nail In The Coffin' For AOPA, or Airservices..??

From the AOPA Newsletter -

"Project Eureka proposes that the Trust capital be generated by the sale of a financially underperforming Australian public asset, Airservices Australia. This capital is needed to re-invest..etc etc ....."

Does anyone think that THIS will ever happen..??

'Tis already a GBE - Govt Business Enterprise - One more 'extra step'..??

I can see it now....'XYZ bank' forms a consortium, buys the LOT, then changes the airspace to ALL Controlled, REQUIRING Full Flight Notification, and .....wait for it......Charging accordingly.

Why not?

Its a monopoly - just like 'our' airports....and, they've already done it there.....

Yes / No...??

Cheers
