CHC Will Be Issued An Air Operator Certificate From The Island
Government
The Civil Aviation Authority of the
Cayman Islands (CAACI) has entered into a joint partnership with
CHC Helicopter, which provides the company with the opportunity to
obtain and maintain a Cayman Islands Air Operator Certificate to
conduct offshore operations in several foreign jurisdictions
worldwide. The Cayman Islands AOC was issued to CHC Helicopter
Monday. Two inaugural CHC AS332L2 Super Puma aircraft have now been
transferred to the Cayman Islands Register. VP-CHC and VP-CHB will
soon be commencing offshore operations in South America.
CHC's existing operating structure, content and standards are
closely aligned with the CAACI Air Regulations, which made for a
smooth transition for CHC. In return, CAACI issued an AOC to the
world's largest commercial helicopter company servicing the world's
offshore oil and gas sector, allowing CAACI to diversify its base
of private and corporate aircraft to accommodate the CHC Helicopter
fleet.
"I am proud that the Civil Aviation
Authority of the Cayman Islands and CHC has agreed to such a
mutually beneficial arrangement," said William J. Amelio, President
and CEO, CHC Helicopter. "We are pleased to be approved by the
CAACI as they can provide us with the flexibility and scope we
require for our operations."
"We are very pleased to be associated with CHC Helicopter, a
company whose embedded safety culture exemplifies quality air
transport operations that leads the aviation industry," said
Richard Smith, Director-General of the CAACI. "Their credible
reputation in the global aviation industry underscores the
selective nature with which the CAACI accepts registrants to the
Cayman Islands Aircraft Registry."
