Aeromega

[connavar]

Anybody have any news on the rather sad rumour that Aeromega are in difficult straits?

I have also heard that this is the case.

Allegedly they are trying to re-new one of the Police contracts (Sussex possibly) and if they don't get it, they are going to be in serious do-do!!!

I guess we will have to wait and see!

Hope to hell they don't go under, they are the only serious contenders to the big players (PAS/MASL)in the market. We need healthy competition. Nice guys within the corporation too. Fingers crossed they come thru the other side!

Splitting hairs I know. PAS at present have the Pilotage & Maintenance contract for Sussex.

Like I said, I 'thought' it was Sussex, and you're right, you are splitting hairs!!!!!

It's Suffolk. Up for renewal at the end of the year.

TC---

I wouldn't want any company to go under, but the Police/Helimed sector has too much competition, not too little. There are at least four companies operating: PAS/MAS, Bond, McAlpine and Aeromega. I doubt if there is a long-term future for all of them.

Have Suffolk said whether they might go for direct employment of pilots?

There was no mention when I was down there last week.
