Looks like Bristow may be pulling out of Port Harcourt before too long. I heard Bobo on its way to Lagos today and a friend tells me it won't be coming back. It looks like Shell is just leaving 1 EC155 in PH and Bristow may just have its old faithful SKY to hold the fort at NAF Base. Reading the local papers it looks as if one of Bristow's major clients, Shell may soon pull out of Nigeria. There's still no news of Agbami, but if Bristow don't get it they're going to be looking a bit thin on the ground out here.

Meanwhile CHC's EC225s will be arriving in the next few months and crews and engineers are already in France doing courses, while many new pilots are due to arrive as are many cadets from South Africa. The new apartments on GRA look to be real nice and will make a bit more room as we're going to be up to around 150 pilots soon.
