With the 5 year contracts for airworthiness management, maintenance and parts now in place, covering 25 aircraft (6 902's and 19 EC's) along with a contract worth £10 million to upgrade 7 of these aircraft, is it safe to assume that there will be no cuts in the number of operationally available aircraft within these 5 years? If there are 'swathing cuts' on the near horizon, will AH be quids in?
Notice that the airworthiness management, maintenance and parts contracts are for 25 aircraft .... what about the 3 spares?
