It is also great that HFDM has finally been introduced in Nigeria
after years of dragging of heels by a certain 'US' helicopter corporation.
As the company that pioneered HFDM, Shell are leading the Global HFDM Operations effort.

It is pleasing that after years of development effort by Shell Aircraft International, Shell now has two Nigerian operators to choose from: Caverton-Dancopter and Aero
, even if Aero still currently operating old technology aircraft such as the S-76 and the
EC155A, which clearly is not at the standard of Shell's own EC155Bs and Caverton's B1s. Though of course Aero can only be on short term contracts with such old aircraft to meet the SAI safety case.
