Bristow extends contracts with four companies

Bristow has been an Equinor aviation partner for more than 20 years and will continue to use its fleet of S-92s to provide crew change flights out of Bristow's bases in Bergen and Florø, Norway. The partnership with Neptune and Shell has been ongoing since May 2017.

Bristow's current contracts with the three companies expire on 30 April 2022. All contract extensions include two one-year options to further extend the contracts from 2024.

Bringing long-term stability and service efficiency

"Our collaboration and working relationship with Equinor are true examples of what a partnership in our industry should look like,” said Heidi Wulff Heimark, Bristow Managing Director / Accountable Manager in Norway. “We are especially honoured by their trust and confidence in us with these contract extensions that will bring long-term stability and maintain service efficiencies."

Equinor, Shell and Neptune Energy collaborate on flights from the Florø base, and Shell and Neptune have decided to also extend their contracts with Bristow in line with Equinor's contract award.

Last year, the UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency has extended the contract for its search and rescue helicopter service with Bristow Helicopters.
