Arobur (A robber?).
I'm new here too ().
Assuming this isn't some sort of wind up, because you have nothing better to do, let me give you some idea:
Leasing a modern twin turbine helicopter to include maintenance, insurance, spares, depreciation: £3 million minimum/year.
Staff costs (IF single pilot? minimum:4 pilots/paramedics/doctors? / back room bureaucrats / CEO: £750,000/year.
Maintaining your AOC: £12k/year.
Insurance for legal liability/hull/director/product/passenger: £50k/year.
Operational equipment (medical/NVD/flying kit): Initial outlay: £2 million? Servicing: £50k/year.
Airbase: Purchase land? Build helipad and hangar? Maintain:? Lease someones helipad?
Training: £20k/year.
Then there are the volunteers who provide the income by spending their valuable spare time shaking the public down for such a good cause: Welfare/running costs/overheads?
Adverttsing and recruitng?

Apart from that it's a cinch, I guess.

Now - what was the question Mr A robber?
