Bristow has registered their first AW139 in the UK. Now officially G-CHBY, the AW139 was ferried from Denmark to Norwich as OY-HLB on 3rd May. It is expected to operate on rig shuttle flights in the Southern North Sea very soon, and we are endeavouring to find out who it is contracted to.
The UK aircraft register marks the helicopter as “Chartered” rather than “Owned”, which likely indicates that Bristow have leased the aircraft in from Bel Air rather than bought it from them. The aircraft is serial 31310, delivered new to Bel Air in early 2011.
