Bristow Norway, a subsidiary of the offshore aviation services provider Bristow Group, has secured a major contract with Norway's state-owned energy company Equinor for helicopter flights across the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Bristow Norway, a subsidiary of the offshore aviation services provider Bristow Group, has secured a multimillion-dollar assignment on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) for two helicopters with Norway's state-owned energy giant Equinor, according to an article published by Offshore Energy. The contract will see Bristow's helicopter pair tasked with flights across Norwegian oil and gas fields. This is a significant win for Bristow, which has a strong presence in the North Sea offshore aviation market, providing transportation services to energy companies operating in the region. "We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Equinor and support their operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf," said Bristow's Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Samantha Willenbacher. "This contract award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team in Norway." The contract duration and other financial details were not disclosed, but the award highlights the ongoing demand for helicopter services to support offshore oil and gas activities in the North Sea. As energy companies like Equinor continue to invest in maintaining and expanding their operations in the region, reliable transportation provided by experienced operators like Bristow will remain crucial.
