Any news on the Birmingham ANSP
YouSaidBolt:
Question 1 No. I attend one particular working group as a rep and feed results to several organisations including Safeskys, but I do not act as their 'voice'.
Question 2 No. I admit I did do a few days freelance A/G there early last year.

The bottom line in the awarding of this contract will have been the cost.
Birmingham airport is not a charity it is a business and as such exists to make money; it is not going to pay more than it has to for anything be that a cubic metre of concrete or its tower ATC service.
There will be an inquest now and I imagine the likely verdict will be that NATS will have to address their costs if they are to win or retain airport contracts within the UK.

I know I am looking on with interest, just as a barometer for where UK ATC Services are heading really.
