The Net Loss included Rs 17.53 Crore towards restatement of foreign exchange liabilities and assets. The Loss before depreciation was Rs 2.52 crores.

The company's current fleet as of July 30, 2008 stood at 20 Bell 412 helicopters and 3 Eurocopter. Lt. Gen. SJS Saighal (Retd.), Chairman, Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd. said, "Crude oil prices spiraling is not really good news for the end consumer but at the exploratory level it means opening new avenues to bigger business prospects. Indian oil and gas companies ramping up their exploration in various locations along the Indian coast would also move to other countries in the ASEAN and other. GVHL has been strategically planning venturing into overseas market to expand its business. The possibility seems to be closer now." Mr. David Hayler, CEO, Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd. said, "India is the hub for new business opportunities and we estimate that we will be returning to profitable trading in the near future. We are in the process of acquiring another EC155, to support our domestic onshore operations. We have also renewed our contract with Reliance Industries Limited which is proof that we are the most sought after helicopter services in the oil and gas sector. We will continue to grow strategically by diversifying into the onshore market with the addition of aircraft and infrastructure to operate new services to Bangalore international airport.
