Unic Press UK: Aero Contractors, a leading aviation service provider in commercial and helicopter offshore oil and gas sector operation, has suspended operations.
The company has two divisions, viz: Aero Nigeria and Rotary Wing. It operates a combined fleet of circa 20 helicopters, 15 fixed wing aircraft ranging from 50 seat Dash 8 to 144 seat Boeing 737-400/500, and employs over 1,000 workers.
Excerpts from the Company’s website reads:
“Dear Esteemed Customers, this is to inform you that we have temporarily suspended all our scheduled services with effect from 1st of September 2016. All other services are still operational. We regret all inconveniences this might cause you. Our Customer Service lines are still available (+234-1-6284140).

A recent report from a Nigerian newspaper outfit asserts that Ghana is now the aviation hub in Africa due to the severe economy crises in Nigeria, and the benefits of the recent cut in the price of aviation fuel by Ghana.
