What might be the impact on the overall global helicopter business if CHC were to fail? How rapidly could other operators pick up the slack, and could there even be enough surplus capacity right now to replace them without utilizing any of the existing CHC aviation assets, but just crews as required?
As so much of the fleet is now leased, is it conceivable that the operating entity has become an undesirable commodity, and that the leased assets could be instantly reassigned to other operators, should the organization itself become unviable?
