Hey eagle 135,
you could of done a search, but here goes.

Aero as it is fondly called is the oldest (49yrs) private aviation company in Nigeria. started off as a wholly owed subsidiary of Schreiner airways of the Netherlands. became a joint partnership with a Nigerian investor in the '70's.That partnership is now 7o% Nigerian with the Ibru family holding all aand CHC holding the rest as well as being the technical partner

Aero until 2003 was mainly an Oil and Gas industry player. 2003 they started domestic operations as well and also introduced the 737 into their fleet. They are well respected by the Nigerian and West African travelling public. They are expanding on both the rotary and fixed wing divisions.

Pilots and Engineers are from diverse back grounds..Canadians, South americns, British, Dutch, Nigerian, South East Asian etc..
Expats have a choice of a 6/6 or 8/4 rotation inn weeks on and off respectively.

Accommodation, feeding and transportation to and from work is provided for expats

Renumeration is competetive

Also check the rotorheads forum..."what's new in West Africa" thread.

do a google search as well.

Hope this helps
