I believe that the Tooradin Operator has a change of management at the top and that they have a new GM.
I personally would differ that the C++ is an obsolete airframe, it is still in production, is well equipped and earns good revenue for operators. It is no more obsolete than a 225 for example.
I think it is worth applauding since to bring in aircraft which are new compared with 25 year old existing Puma and 76 fleets has to be an overall improvement for the industry. I am sure it will soon be put onto the VH register and Australian crews will be trained on the differences between it and the A++ so that foreign crews will not be required in the long term.
Anything which lowers the age of the offshore fleet has to be a positive whatever aircraft type it may be.
