We'll see how this factor plays out in the GOM in a few years. The two largest operators, Air Log & PHI, have gone in opposite directions - PHI with converted S76A++'s, & Air Log is buying new S76C+'s. Time will tell. It's not clear, however, that Air Log really wanted new aircraft, but PHI reportedly bought all the A++ conversion kits available, leaving Air Log with no choice but to buy new because they were late in starting to convert the A models they have.
