Yesterday, Bond Offshore Helicopters registered their first AW139 helicopter with teh UK CAA – it is G-PERA which reflects it being contracted to the independent oil & gas company Perenco.  Previously this company’s operations were supported by an AW139 from CHC.  The AW139, which will be joined by a second prior to the contract start on 1st May, will be based from Norwich.  This airport is fast becoming the “Aberdeen of the Southern North Sea” as other options such as North Denes are closed down. (see HeliHub.com story)

This is the first time Bond Offshore Helicopters operates the AW139, and its first contract in the Southern North Sea.

Perenco has operations in 16 countries across the globe, ranging from Northern Europe to Africa and from South America to the Middle East.
