Helicopter-leasing firm Waypoint files for bankruptcy protection Waypoint Leasing Holdings Ltd., a helicopter-leasing business focused on serving offshore oil drillers and backed by Michael Dell and George Soros, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sunday and put its business on the auction block. Hooman Yazhari, Waypoint’s chief executive, said the bankruptcy is “the next step” in the company’s bid to restructure its balance sheet. Waypoint has been in talks with lenders for months and after putting itself up for sale has received bids from “numerous parties,” according to a statement. The company, which will continue operating during the chapter 11 case, says it expects to emerge from bankruptcy protection under new ownership. Based in Limerick, Ireland, Waypoint owns more than 160 aircraft, and the company’s backers investors include MSD Capital, Michael Dell’s family investment firm; George Soros’s Quantum Strategic Partners and private-equity firm Cartesian Capital Group, LLC.
