Skyway Helicopters (Scotland) gone bust?

Hi all,

I am a charter agent in Scotland.

After the demise of Lothian Helicopters last year it looks like another helicopter has bitten the dust, Skyway Helicopters of Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland.

Their website is still up and running but all available flights have been removed and despite multiple calls to them there is no response and no messages or returned calls?

I have heard on the Rumour mill that they flew on HJS Helicopters AOC but that was revoked on unspecified grounds) and they then flew into a castle in the highlands that belonged to the owners of HG Helicopters. They were reported to the CAA as this flight was non-AOC and as such uninsured and illegal. This looks to have been the icing on the cake at Skyway?

Anyone have any insight as to what is going on here? I know they have a lot of voucher customers. Looks like PDG will be the only heli-tour operator left in Scotland! Not been a good month for heliops north of the border.
