Vetted operator network — crew change
Crew-Change Helicopter Operators
Vetted operators purpose-built for rotational crew change: offshore energy, remote mining camps, LNG facilities, EPC construction and utility grid crews. Scheduled cadence, contract pricing, backup aircraft and full HSE reporting.
You brief the mission — SkyMatch returns 3–5 side-by-side operator options with certifications, aircraft availability, insurance evidence and pricing.
Certifications & standards enforced
- IOGP 690 / BARS alignment — Offshore and remote-industrial risk standards enforced.
- Contract-grade SLA capability — Backup aircraft, engineer coverage, KPI reporting.
- IFR / night currency — Pilots current for early / late shift windows.
- Manifest & weight discipline — Digital manifests, weigh-in, HUET/BOSIET validation.
- SMS + FDM — Every rotation flight recorded and reviewed monthly.
Aircraft on the panel
- S-92 / AW189 — Long-range heavy rotations, 19 pax offshore.
- AW139 / Bell 412 — Standard 12–15 pax medium twin rotations.
- H145 / Bell 429 — Short-cycle regional shifts, IFR-capable.
- AS350 / H125 — Small remote camps and infill crew moves.

How we vet operators for this cluster
- Contractual SLA with backup aircraft strategy documented.
- Rotational cadence experience — no ad-hoc operators for scheduled programs.
- Digital manifest and weight verification tooling in place.
- HSE reporting cadence agreed (weekly / monthly board format).
- Pilot roster depth to sustain schedule during leave / illness.
- Base infrastructure — hangar, engineer, fuel, alternates within range.
