I wonder what "problems" with Flightline had been identified? I am not close to the operation obviously, but on the outside Flightline had appeared to have done a good job with the contract since they had arrived.
Must have been serious for IAC to terminate it a year early.
Would it have been Bristow alone that would have made the decision, or the Consortium as a whole - presume a joint decision among the IAC?
Interesting times ahead indeed.
