I don't think this has got anything to do with Air Omega mbH but rather the acquisition of Directflight by Stapleton-based Aeromega Helicopters and the associated rebranding under the Aeromega name.

Directflight has had a long association with Prestwick operating the Cessna 406 turboprop version on behalf of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Service. I believe a similar contract also exists with the English Fisheries Protection Agency flying out of Exeter.

I also believe the company will operate a BAe 146 aircraft to carry out weather research in association with BAe Systems.

Would also be interested to hear about any plans for more extensive operations out of Prestwick, if anyone knows more......
