I can confirm that Bond have indeed sold out to Inaer, and that Bristow Helicopters have been sold to Walt Disney.
the next rumour will be that BP will be selling all of their offshore assets to Centrica and Perenco by June this year!

Bond Aviation seeks investor to expand its helicopter fleet - Telegraph
Not a wind up but not new news either - DT Nov 2010 link above

Evidently there is something in today's UK Sunday Times entitled:
"Brothers Stephen and Peter Bond could be set for a £300m windfall after selling their aviation assets to rival Spanish operator Inaer."
More official reports welcome.

Maybe now salaries will be brought inline with the the other major operators across the runway,they are at least 10-15% behind at the moment.

Bond Aviation Group bought by World Helicopter Group
Firstly, word has it that nothing is finalized yet and won't be for at least a month. Plus it appears that Inaer aren't buying Bond; the investment group who own Inaer (and Australian Helicopters) are buying Bond.
As far as pay rises go, I wouldn't hold your breath. Rich capitalists didn't get rich by giving their money to the minions!!

It all sounds like the old sale of the Bond offshore-part to Helicopter Service (CHC Norway) ca.15 years back. Do they have a 10 year clause this time as well? Will they be able to do it a 3rd time???
Any info on what the intended shareholding split is going to be (if any) or is it a 100% sellout? Previous info indicated Bond was looking for an investor to provide increased expansion oportunities. This latest news implies that the Bond family has sold out completely.
I get a feeling of déjà vu.

It seems that it's a 100% buyout by this investment group but the Bond brothers are staying involved and Bond Aviation Group will keep its individual identity. Whatever that means!
Folk in the know seem to think that IF it all gets agreed and signed then not a lot will change at the coal-face. Time will tell and it'll be interesting to see how they get on but yes, the word is that these investment people will own 100% of Bond.
