So who is bankrolling Bond? I can't see Inaer having sufficient credit for this number of heavy machines.

NB "I am also very proud to announce that these first two aircraft will be operated by our new business in Norway, Norsk Helikopter Service".

Can't comment on things up North but delivery of a baseline aircraft in Sikorsky means the aircraft moves from assembly to completion. More importantly, the customer pays for the whole aircraft minus a % of the completion fee (usually 60% of completion remains to be paid on actual delivery to the customer)

Expect 120-150 days allowing for the upcoming holiday season before the S-92s are actually delivered to Bond or its affiliate.

I didn't even know Bond had a base in Norway or are they about to set up their. With an order for 16 S92's, have they won a large contract and are any of these 92's to be operated out of their main base in Aberdeen?

Where these aircraft ordered for the Shell contract that never happened?
