Merger reference decision announced:

 

On 18 November 2021, the CMA decided that it was or may be the case that the following Merger has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets in the United Kingdom.

 

Completed acquisition by CHC Group LLC (CHC) of Offshore Helicopter Services UK Limited, Offshore Services Australasia Pty Ltd and Offshore Helicopter Services Denmark A/S

Pursuant to section 73A(1) of the Act, CHC had until 25 November 2021 to offer an undertaking to the CMA that might be accepted by the CMA under section 73(2) of the Enterprise Act 2004 (the Act). On 25 November 2021 CHC informed the CMA that it would not be offering any undertakings.
