Hi Goose

Roughly speaking, you're probably looking at between 40 and 50ish helicopter movements between the 3 operators, but that will vary from day to day. Most will have returned by around about 1500ish, but there will be a few stragglers.

Kick off is generally at about 0800hrs.

Hope this helps.

well we had snow fall thursday night and friday, there's roughly 2 inches sitting here at the moment in Inverurie. Heavy snowfall and high winds forecast for saturday and sunday. As for the rest of the week I'm not sure. Will keep you up-dated if I can. :)

All three operators list their daily schedules on their respective websites, for CHC and Bristow select Aberdeen

CHC - http://www.chc.ca/flight-schedule-display.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Bristow - http://www.bristowgroup.com/resources/flight_stat.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Bond - http://www.bondflights.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We usually tend to be quieter on Mondays and Fridays, unless there is a backlog of flights due to weather or a load of ad-hoc flights. In our case flying starts just prior to 7am and most aircraft having departed by 8am. For the rest of the day there is a trickle of arrivals and departures with most aircraft having completed their flying by 1600. Of course the daily schedule varies by operator.
