To think PremiAir were one of the biggest outfits at one time. Shame the hotel side pulled it down.

Not quite true, the police and utility side bailed out the corporate side of the company for years. Sticking your neck out just as the recession started didnt help either..... Shame

And so the inevitable has happened.

Locked out of the Blackbushe hangar by the bailiffs this morning, along with the few remaining customers who still kept their aircraft there.

Angry PremiAir lock-out

Bailiffs not involved . Dispute is between BCA ( Landlord) and PremiAir over back rent and disputes in the lease. Personal effects have been removed pending legal decisions being made.

Is the company still trading? Is there anything to save?

Dubai helicopters and others have re-located to Fairoaks. Maybe that will now become 'West London Heliport' as it means 5 operators (Chobham, Starspeed, HeliAir, Dubai, AN Other) plus Network Rail/Dollar on long attachments and one or two privately owned helicopters are based there.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for Dubai to move...does anyone know if PremiAir are still locked out of Blackbushe, and if so, where they're trading from (or if they're still trading)?

I see PremiAir's AOC has disappeared again from the CAA AOC list, which i'm guessing is not good news, however the company still shows as 'active' on the Companies House website, though now with a registered address in Essex?...

More importantly, does anyone know what is happening to the employees who are/were still there, and if they've been paid for the last few months?

I really do feel for them all, a lot of whom have/had been with the company for many years; I hope the owner has done the decent thing and managed to sort something out for them.

Do Dubai Helicopters have a website? Assuming they're a different setup to Helidubai.

What is being referred to as "Dubai Helicopters" is in fact the Dubai Air Wing - a non-commercial outfit to support the government / Royal Family. They moved out of Premiair mid July along with the other remaining users.

As for PAE? Last I heard: Still locked out - no-one paid for a goodly while

A photograph in http://www.farnborough.proboards.com...s-past?page=96 dated 18 Oct shows the Premiair hangars effectively denied for use by aircraft as the airfield owners (BCA) have parked vehicles on the apron and taxiway.

I wonder if BCA have applied for a planning permission change of use from aircraft hangarage to car storage. I would imagine that the original planning permission specified aircraft hangarage.

That depends how you define 'still in business'...

Still 'active' according to Companies House website, but no pay since around May and no-one's working AFAIK (not for Premiair anyway!).

More than happy to be corrected though if anyone on the inside has any better news.

The ex-Premiair hangar area at Blackbushe was NOTAMMED as 'not available' early last week but the NOTAM has now vanished.
Good sign or have they just forgotten to renew it?
