CHC Helicopter is set to invest millions of pounds to transform its facilities in Aberdeen.
The company plans to deliver the expansion of its hangar capacity, passenger terminal and provide for a new operations centre.
The development will be delivered in two phases.
The first phase will double the size of the existing hangar, creating a world-class, purpose-built facility in which CHC’s expert engineers can maintain more than 20 heavy aircraft.
Work on the first phase is expected to start in 2015.
The second phase is expected to start the following year, when CHC will redevelop its passenger terminal.
The transformed two-storey terminal will include a new passenger lounge as well as dedicated space for CHC’s major oil-and-gas customers.
Mark Abbey, regional director for CHC West North Sea, said that the company is investing in people, its fleet and its facilities in Aberdeen, other UK locations and around the world.
He said:“This increased financial commitment is part of a very broad, ongoing commitment in Aberdeen and to the people who rely on us,” said Mr. Abbey. “We are determined to not only respond to the needs of customers, but anticipate them, and to constantly enhance the experience of offshore workers.
“Customers are responding favourably to our improved tools, systems and processes, rewarding us with a number of major, long-term contracts this year. The expansion of our operations in Aberdeen is expected to broaden and extend that trend.”
