I think on which side the airport main terminal is far more important than whether it has a crappy BNB/hotel and Asda closer by 🤣. Also, way more hotels and better bus connections on the other side than Babcock side... Not to mention superior facilities over at CHC. Everything shiny new and more spacious, but definitely not big enough to house all of Babcock.
Let's see how this plays out, could go anywhere. If it's merely a share purchase, nothing much will change, neither will Tupe apply (the easiest way). The difficult way would be to have bought it entirely, in which case it's all a very complex endeavour: rebranding, repainting, Tupe, T&C's, re-alignment of OPS (will take a very long time seeing CHC operates in a completely different way than Babcock) etc etc.
