Well, today is the day in the UK and my early information was close but not quite right so here it is from Helihub:
- Bond Aviation Group Ltd. to Babcock Mission Critical Services UK Ltd.
- Bond Air Services Ltd. to Babcock Mission Critical Services Onshore Ltd.
- Bond Offshore Helicopters Ltd to Babcock Mission Critical Services Offshore Ltd.
- Bond Helicopters Europe Ltd. to Babcock Mission Critical Services Design and Completions Ltd.
- International Aviation Leasing Ltd. to Babcock Mission Critical Services Leasing Ltd.
Over the years, there have been lots of corporate re-brand exercises, some more successful than others, this one doesn't have success written all over it.
From an ATC point of view, we understand that the “Bond” callsign and “BND” flight prefix are being retained due to the cost of changing it with ICAO.
I would change it to COC
