Inaer-Bond changes name to Avincis

World Helicopters, owner of Bond and Inaer has changed name


www.avincisgroup.com


Will it make any difference for the ones working for the lowest paying subsidiary (inaer)? I wish but don't think so

Not to be confused with the Romanian wine company who currently make up 90% plus of the Google searches on the word Avincis

Or a Japanese car (as pronounced by a Kiwi).

I thought that was worth posting, until I saw it written down...

inaer-bond changes name to avincis

Is this the cunning way of entering the accident statistics with a zero?

Change possibly in the wind for Avincis

It is thought FTSE 100 Index-listed Babcock is looking to buy a significant stake in Avincis, while a well-known national Sunday paper reported plans for a takeover that would see it pay £1 billion and take on £500 million of debt.

The group said a deal with Avincis would help it expand in the UK and overseas, but stressed there was no certainty the talks would lead to a transaction.

Hmm, I suppose that "Cock Copters" will distinguish it from Bristow and CHC in terms of public recognition.

Why did the British government let this sort of thing happen. Bristow was taken over by the worst helicopter company in the world- American I may add. In Nigeria when I worked there, I was asked by a senior oil company executive who now ran Bristow I replied Air Logistics to be told that his company would never have contemplated a contract with them. I suspect Bond have a similar situation- we should never have let American companies into our situation! Waiting for your reply SAS.

Huh?

Babcock are headquatered in London, listed on the London Stock Exchange and it's board is littered with CBEs and a GCB (ie Brits!)

How much more 'British' do you want?

Are you posting in the correct thread?

Your points don't seem to have any relevance to the thread topics.

Inaer-Bond changes name to Avincis

New owner to sit on the Iron Throne June 1st in Inaer Spain. Will they cut some Kkr's heads? We've had like 4 HR managers in the past 2 years, every single one of them asking for time to get to know the company. I guess they did because we've suffered 20-30% income cut. Here we go again...
