I see Bristow is now operating quite a lot of S76 and Super Pumas in Lagos and Snake Island and Aero had a 76 there over the weekend. This morning I saw another shiny new-looking B737 on the Aero ramp - they're obviously expanding their fixed wing operations as well as helicopters. Caverton's A108 hasn't been seen for some time now - financial problems or serviceability? They do seem to have some work for their 'yellow peril' the 350B2 which flies from time to time. Anyone have any idea what's happening to them now? Even though their heliport is now open they haven't started their airport shuttle yet, which must be costing them dear. Still, they seem to have deep pockets, so presumably can wait a bit longer.
