Bristow today confirmed the launch of its latest service, Bristow Logistics Services Shetland (BLSS), to transport oil and gas workers offshore.
The new service, which is a partnership between Bristow and Eastern Airways, will fly workers from Aberdeen Airport to Scatsta Airport in the Shetland Islands on plane before passengers continue their journeys to nearby onshore destinations or by helicopter to offshore installations in the Shetland basins.
The service will also see Bristow contract with new clients on a direct basis.
Alan Corbett, managing director of Bristow Helicopters said: “We are extremely proud of our Shetland Islands heritage and continue to work hard to maintain reliable operations at both Sumburgh and Scatsta airports. This new partnership is also important for the local economy and demonstrates our commitment to the area.
“As the only helicopter operator at Scatsta, we are able to turn around helicopter flights faster. We also have additional back-up support from our great team at Sumburgh Airport to assist when required.”
