Goat,
Perhaps the potential cash represents a bridge of sorts for BI, in order to enable the company to continue the operation until better economic conditions exsist?
The uniqueness of the East Green heliport will provide cold comfort if the operation has to cut costs or staff to remain functional.
Change in this industry is often sadly inevitable, and we are all left to sort through the resultant debris. There have been other helicopter airlines once upon a very long time past.
It may not represent the 'best' way forward, but it may well be the only way to survive?
cheers
