Total selected our bid to continue operations in their Culzean field for an additional 12 months, adding an extra S-92 helicopter to Total’s established flight operations.

We will also add an extra S-92 to CNOOC Petroleum Europe Limited’s established flight operations in support of activity in the Central North Sea and West of Shetland.

We have the fleet, the experience and the long-term stability to provide the right level of support and service to today’s oil and gas companies and are looking forward to continued safe growth.”
