The Senok Trade Group, heavily into the automobile business, is planning to start a helicopter service, company and aviation industry officials, said. “The Senok team had a meeting with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) officials and they are now discussing the details pertaining to certification process,” a CAA source told the Business Times.
He said the CAA had requested the company to submit their business plans. A spokesman for the company confirmed that Senok is planning an aviation company – initially for local transport - which may be named as Air Senok which will see them import two brand new helicopters from France.
“We have been running our travel company since 1979 and we thought that such an initiative will complement our business,” he said, adding that the investment amounts are not finalised as yet.
“We will start with two helicopters and then move to a fixed wing airline. It will take about six months to start once the documentation has been submitted and licence granted by the CAA,” he said. The company has 14 businesses ranging from travel to haulage and from mining to hydropower. |
