Bristow buys Eastern Airways

News just broken Bristow owns 60% of Eastern (and thus Humberside).
Look out CHC and Bond

Will this lead to expansion into other Oil Industry locations.... where a professional and reliable Airline type service would be an improvement over existing services?

Maybe in EASA countries but my experience is of having to use local airlines for 'local' oil (or at least non-EASA). Big brown envelopes might still have to be passed on if your own 'preferred' fixed-wing operator is intended for use. Where no such airline exists then even bigger brown envelopes required....
Country of origin of AOC/cabotage etc.
Some areas might be able to run the operation as a corporate lease but I cannot envisage that happening unless taken off the G-plate as purpose of flight would be to carry contractors/due consideration etc.
Looks like nothing more than a sound investment.
Does Bristows already have their own plank advisors for ooa ops?
