Couple of questions on this subject...
First of all will the contract be an open tender or an extension of BHL's SAR operations (different agency I know, but could be connected?). Secondly does anyone have an idea about how much flying may be undertaken outside the normal operating hours of Aberdeen ATC - both airport and offshore tasks? And when offshore, to what extent would air traffic services be required?
There could be some interesting times ahead for us when this service starts.
