We are proud to announce that Bel Air has been awarded the Wintershall Noordzee helicopter contract. Starting January 2020, Bel Air will provide helicopter operations to Wintershall Noordzee’s various North Sea installations using a combination of AW139 and AW189 helicopters. The contract duration is three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years.
A dedicated team of highly experienced and skilled Bel Air employees will be ready to manage the numerous helicopter flights anticipated under this contract.
Bel Air brings nine years of experience operating the AW139 and is the worldwide fleet leader for the AW189. Our certified maintenance organization ensures continuous airworthiness, leveraging extensive expertise developed through complex operations in diverse environments. This guarantees high reliability and availability in compliance with the highest safety standards, especially considering the challenging conditions in the North Sea, achieved through close collaboration with Leonardo Helicopters.
Bel Air currently supports Wintershall Noordzee with ad hoc helicopter operations from Den Helder Airport, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.
Susanne Hessellund, Managing Director of Bel Air, stated:
“We will go the extra mile to ensure smooth, flexible, and safe operations. Our entire team is excited to continue working closely with Wintershall Noordzee.”
Wintershall Noordzee added:
“With this contract, the partnership between Wintershall Noordzee and Bel Air has been further strengthened. We are confident that Bel Air’s fleet composition and high service level will ensure the safe transport of our offshore personnel.”
