This year was pretty crappy for most operators - so no I'd say recovery is still very much a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kube Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 This year was pretty crappy for most operators - so no I'd say recovery is still very much a work in progress. We repair parts as they time expire. We see the light aircraft sector has been farly stagnent with a small boost this summer. The medium & heavy market has performed more consistently due to NGO and Security hours flown around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksidelogger Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I don't believe the Canadian industry is even close to being on the upswing yet more trouble to come. More operators selling iron more operators closing their doors, there may be the odd exception to this but they are rare Kinda like seeing bigfoot DSL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big problems still for small to med size companies securing credit. Economic problems persist. P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P5 I see thins are bad and will stay for a while but 4 years seems a long time, lets hope everything can come to "normal" or close to it sooner !

Heliman2 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 The bottom line is that there are too many helicopters in Canada...Period. Most operators continue to find deals on helicopters outside of Canada and keep on importing new aircraft. Some operators do go under from time to time but those aircraft they import stay in Canada and are bought or leased to other Canadian operators. For the industry to recover there has to be less helicopters in the Canadian market or the demand for hired aircraft has to increase in Canada. I do not see this happening at the present moment or the near future. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksidelogger Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 A sign that it is Bad this summer the BC forest service had more machines sitting on Spec at the fire centers than they had working. the estimate at williams lake alone was over 50 A/C not a good sign having that many A/C "available" -DSL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tail rotor Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I believe the owners of most companies are doing fine! It's the employees that feel the slow time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
