Question

From what I read here and having seen their website advertising shuttle operations for more than a year now Caverton looks like another Nigerian non-starter. Apart from a flash looking hangar and a nearly finished heliport they don't seem to have much else. According to This Day online in an article in January of 2004 they were on the brink of starting a shuttle operation with EC135s, having spent nearly $14 million already. But nearly 18 months on they don't seem to have started and they have3 helicopters all of different types. With a track record like that maybe they'll end up like so many other Nigerian helicopter operators like Okada, Southern Air and Stillwater
