Bond sold to Inaer ?
Rumour goes at the HAI that Bond is sold to Inaer. Anybody knows more about this ?
|
|
I heard that same rumour in Orlando.
Smoke, but no fire ... |
I can confirm that Bond have indeed sold out to Inaer, and that Bristow Helicopters have been sold to Walt Disney.
the next rumour will be that BP will be selling all of their offshore assets to Centrica and Perenco by June this year! ;) |
You must have missed the news that MD Helicopters has been purchased by Richard Branson and the line will be set up in one of the old airship hangars at Cardington.
|
i best a get a order in quick for a new md i heard that branson was buying old cardinton
best news to come from the show to date |
I heard the same news before Orlando, but no confermation up to now!

British Firms
The British Government have declared that all companies, particularly helicopter operators and chocolate makers, should be sold overseas.....
|
is this thread some kind of joke or wind up then ?
i spoke to the uk md dealer he was at hai and didnt hear anything there |
Bond Aviation seeks investor to expand its helicopter fleet - Telegraph
Not a wind up but not new news either - DT Nov 2010 link above |
Rumour
No longer!Bond have been bought out 100% by the group which own Inaer.
|
.
Evidently there is something in today's UK Sunday Times entitled: "Brothers Stephen and Peter Bond could be set for a £300m windfall after selling their aviation assets to rival Spanish operator Inaer." More official reports welcome. Sav |
Bond!
Maybe now salaries will be brought inline with the the other major operators across the runway,they are at least 10-15% behind at the moment.
|
Did they sell both companies onshore and offshore or only offshore?
|
norunway. If INAER give you a pay rise it will come from the training budget so be prepared to see standards fall. INAER training is an oxymoron.

Bond Aviation Group bought by World Helicopter Group
Firstly, word has it that nothing is finalized yet and won't be for at least a month. Plus it appears that Inaer aren't buying Bond; the investment group who own Inaer (and Australian Helicopters) are buying Bond.
As far as pay rises go, I wouldn't hold your breath. Rich capitalists didn't get rich by giving their money to the minions!! |
The whole group is sold. It is to Inaer's owners not Inaer itself.
|
It all sounds like the old sale of the Bond offshore-part to Helicopter Service (CHC Norway) ca.15 years back. Do they have a 10 year clause this time as well? Will they be able to do it a 3rd time???
|
Any info on what the intended shareholding split is going to be (if any) or is it a 100% sellout? Previous info indicated Bond was looking for an investor to provide increased expansion oportunities. This latest news implies that the Bond family has sold out completely.
I get a feeling of déjà vu. |
It seems that it's a 100% buyout by this investment group but the Bond brothers are staying involved and Bond Aviation Group will keep its individual identity. Whatever that means!
Folk in the know seem to think that IF it all gets agreed and signed then not a lot will change at the coal-face. Time will tell and it'll be interesting to see how they get on but yes, the word is that these investment people will own 100% of Bond. |
