The Sikorsky S-92 is here!



Bristow Caribbean secured a new contract with BHP Billiton in Trinidad and Tobago beginning May 2016 using Sikorsky S-92 aircraft.This is the first time an S-92 is being operated in the Trinidad and Tobago oil and gas market and the first time that Bristow is using an S-92 in the country.

Just one S92? That's smart. What happens when it breaks down?

[abbow]

still love the s76 though....S92 like a school bus

[Habit7]

I won't surprised if TTAG or NHSL announce that they want one as well.

[MISHI]

Hopefully it will do some training runs over here... to get some shots

Judge rules against helicopter company

Thursday, April 28 2016

HELICOPTER services PHI Americas — which provides offshore helicopter support to companies operating in the local oil and gas sector — will not be allowed to operate on a temporary concession and can only do so when its application for an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) is approved by the Director General of Civil Aviation Authority.

Justice Frank Seepersad yesterday threw out the company’s judicial review claim against the TT Civil Aviation Authority of a decision in March, not to grant it a temporary permit to operate.

The company claimed if it was not granted the temporary permit, pending the approval of the AOC, it will experience financial ruin and had already lost one contract with an energy company and stood to lose other contracts with major energy companies in Trinidad and Tobago.

PHI Americas (Trinidad) further contended that there were significant delays on the part of the Civil Aviation Authority to consider its AOC application. In his ruling yesterday, Seepersad held that having reviewed the evidence, he could not conclude that there were periods of unnecessary or unreasonable delay as contended by PHI.
