PremiAir

[Anthony Supplebottom]

Flying or on a lorry?

[SpringHeeledJack]

Good point, this one was doing the former.

[wigglyamp]

Which S76 was it - VONA/B/C have all being exported to the 'States.

[SpringHeeledJack]

I've no idea, it was viewed twice from several hundred metres away, very dark blue with a golden cheat line and large registration in same hue. Perhaps it wasn't, but it certainly looked the same and it made me wonder.

G DPJR in hangar at Oxford wasn't that a PA machine?

[PUP]

What next?!

See this link to Helihub for more about their plans!!!

G-DPJR

I thought this machine was overdue annual inspection and still at Blackbushe. Where has it moved to?

[Efirmovich]

They have more front than Debenhams !

What's the latest here. Is anybody getting paid?
Their new marketing guy seems to be touting hard for business but still avoiding paying any bills?

[Brilliant Stuff]

A number of former staff are still owed thousands in pension contributions each

I wonder what will happen come April when they loose their Police contracts?

Considering the bad PR it would be much cheaper to pay everyone's debt....but what do I know?

G DPJR in hangar at Oxford wasn't that a PA machine?

Sometimes flown by their pilots but AFAIK always privately owned (previous Reg G-JCBA and subsequently re-registered to a certain mobile phone dealer - the clue is in the registration letters).

April? First lot go at the end of October(Halfpenny Green). We get transferred at the end of December.

[Brilliant Stuff]

Well do I need to say more?

Did they stop your pension contributions as well?

[MightyGem]

In as much as they haven't been paid since last December.

[heli1]

I didn't know Premiair had any police contracts.Is this for maintenance or piloting and is the new Avery owned Premiair responsible? No doubt we will learn more at Helitech since they appear to be planning a big relaunch there.

PremiAir only currently have 2 engineers and not the 60 that the press release has stated. Mr Avery still owes a lot of people a lot of money, myself included, but if you ask for it you are politely told that the company that owes you the money has been liquidated...! Its a small industry..........!

[Brilliant Stuff]

Avery is holding a press conference at Helitech at 1130 on Tuesday if anyone's interested. Good opportunity to ask when you're getting paid.

I had planned on doing just that with a big placard as well but I am now busy that day. I hope some of my former colleagues can ruffle some feathers.

[firebird_uk]

Take along your own press release with a bunch of questions on it and hand it to the journo's on their way in. Make sure it's factual.

[pdoyle]

With the inevitable take over by NPAS is this the final nail in the coffin for our beloved Premiair
No ships
No contracts
Anyone any idea how to keep the lights on here

[Phil Space]

First rule of business...don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Second rule..be competitive.

If a company can't trade and win contracts there is no future.

Woolworth's being replaced by Poundland is a good example.

Malcolm Walker was sacked by Woolworth's in Wrexham because he opened a small shop in Oswestry selling frozen peas.

Today he runs an operation in most UK towns and his former bosses have long gone.

He own the Iceland chain.
