Miquelon Airport (remote from Saint-Pierre) is a remote tower: cameras and sensors at the airport feed controllers who work somewhere else. DSNA selected Searidge in March 2016 to remote Miquelon from Saint-Pierre, about 40 km away; cameras to be installed at Miquelon.
Caveat. Selected in 2016. NATS lists a Miquelon and Saint-Pierre digital tower as a reference, while a union document calls earlier French attempts failures. Neither gives a service date.
The evidence for this entry is old or comes from a single source. Treat the status as unconfirmed.
