BRISTOW Helicopters has won back a North Sea contract.
It is to provide helicopter support for CNR International (UK), flying workers to and from the Tiffany platform in the central North Sea.
The deal – which starts today – will run for three years, with two further one-year options.
Bristow will use its fleet of new EC225 helicopters on the CNR contract, which had been held by CHC Scotia.
Bristow previously had the contract until 2004.
No value for the work has been disclosed, but it is understood to be worth a multimillion-pound sum.
John Cloggie, Bristow’s director of European operations in Aberdeen, said: “We are pleased to be servicing this important North Sea contract again and look forward to working with CNR to provide this vital link.
“The award of this contract enhances Bristow’s reputation in the oil and gas sector and will provide additional long-term stability for the company in Aberdeen.”
Last year, the company invested more than £70million in a fleet of new Sikorsky S-92 helicopters based at Scatsta, in Shetland, and also announced the establishment of a Bristow training academy at the company’s new European headquarters in Aberdeen.
