There are some other interesting points in the article:
- HM Air will still do aerial mustering for clients, but using Cabri G2 helicopters instead.
- Discusses "an incredible safety rating" and "good support from the factory in France" regarding the G2.
- Mustering had been 90% of their business in the past, it will now be less so as they diversity.
- I didn't follow the point about "...the business grew, became more accountable..."?
- Excluding the R22's that have been sold, the company now has 7 turbine and 8 piston helicopters but 20 fixed-wing aircraft. So actually more a fixed-wing operation now, if based purely on the numbers of aircraft they operate.
- More aircraft maintenance being brought in-house but wasn't clear if that applies to the helicopters as well as fixed-wing aircraft?
- The increased scrutiny on the north's aviation sector is mentioned, and is seen by Sam Chisholm as a good thing.
