Malaysia’s Weststar Group is considering an initial public stock offering (IPO) of its Kuala Lumpur-based helicopter services unit Weststar Aviation. The IPO is targeted to raise at least $300 million, according to reports, and would be in addition to a block sale of approximately 20 percent of the shares in the $2 billion company.
