From what has not been said, I assume the Premiar police pilots are still in work at their various bases? Fingers crossed.
I just hope for the sake of all involved that what i've heard is correct, and that this does not change.

...is nothing to do with PremiAir
Back to the thread - what a shame the owner has used the Company as a cash cow now all his other businesses have gone. I feel sorry for all those who have worked so hard to try to do their best in the face of adversity over the last few years.
Hopefully another owner can be found, but preferably one with more helicopter vision than GAMA turned out to have for the former Mann empire, and before the company loses all its remaining good people.
The rumour is that there are some interested parties in the wings but that Mr D@v!€$ is such a toxic entity that no-one has any interest in dealing with him so they will wait until the company goes into administration and deal with the administrators instead. (Can't say i blame them).
Hope it gets sorted soon for the good of all concerned.

What have Gama done to neglect helicopters? I understood they'd taken on all of the contract helicopter engineers, are re-furbing the Heli hangar and have actively pushed to attract new work.

I too hope all goes well for the people there, I was one of the team from 2000-2005, based at Denham for most of those. A couple of articles on helihub.

Really sad news for the workforce. I left PremiAir a couple of years ago (on good terms!) and found them to be a great employer. Hopefully they will bounce back!

Let's re-phrase that ... any more news on PremiAir at Blackbushe, now that Denham ops appears to have taken a turn for the worse?
Would like to know what happened to those customers whose helis were locked in the hangars at Denham through PremiAir's non-payment of rent?

Class. Reading between the lines, Premier owe Denham a shed load of money to the point that airfield management are forced to change the locks. I'll take a stab at a few hundred thousand in rent and fuel. One also presumes that there has been previous discussion between the parties as no one would be daft enough to lock the doors at the first opportunity. Management transfer business activity to another airfield, for which everyone should be eternally grateful, leaving Denham with an IOU.
Call me a bluff old traditionalist, but I'm not convinced this will do anything other than provide short term respite to an apparent cash flow problem; the elephant is almost definitely still in the room. The bit that gets under my skin is that for every company that fails, another is almost inevitably dragged down.
