An existing contract with the Integrated Aviation Consortium
(IAC) in UK North Sea was extended through direct negotiation for a
five-year term with the option to extend for an additional five
years and includes the operation of six existing Sikorsky S-92
large helicopters that were initially put into service in 2008. In
addition to the helicopter services, Bristow will continue to
provide airport management and fixed wing services as part of this
contract.
The ten-year contract in Norway with Statoil reinforces our
long-term commitment to the Norwegian market. The work will utilize
three new Sikorsky S-92 large helicopters plus an additional
back-up helicopter operating from our Bergen base beginning in
January 2012. This contract is in addition to operations Bristow
currently conducts for Statoil in Norway from bases in Stavanger
and Hammerfest. This will increase the total Bristow helicopters in
Norway to 15.
