How are crew-change contracts structured?

Typically 90 to 730 days dedicated aircraft with a fixed monthly availability fee plus a per-flight-hour rate. Aircraft is based at the client's chosen heliport with dedicated crews on rotation.

Which aircraft are used for offshore crew change?

Medium and heavy twins certified for offshore ops — AW139, AW189, S-92, H175, Bell 412 — with HUMS, floats, life-rafts, HUET-trained crews and PBE for passengers as required by OGP/BARS.

Do you handle FPSO and jack-up deck landings?

Yes. We source operators whose crews and aircraft are certified for the target deck class, and we coordinate radio procedures, refuelling and HLO liaison with the platform.

Can you mobilise to a new basin quickly?

Yes. For new fields or short-term campaigns we can position aircraft cross-border with the necessary permits, insurance endorsements and local ground handling in a few weeks.

Do you provide medevac and SAR standby with crew-change contracts?

Yes — HEMS-configured aircraft and dedicated SAR standby can be bundled into the same contract or sourced as a co-located secondary aircraft.
