Angolan Airservices 6 S76C++ ordered

[Chopper Jog]

Hi there,

Could anyone please cast some light and info on this rumour......? I believe Angolan Airservices (operating out of Luanda - mainly fixed wing) has tendered for a contract to fly offshore in Angola with potentially 6 S76C++. The first S76C++ is due to arrive in Luanda in early 08. Any Sikorky Reps in here?

Furthermore.....where are they going to find qualified S76 pilots/engineers and what will the benefits/pay package be? The schedule 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 8/4?

Regards,

CJ

Don't know about the hele side in Angola, but there is a LOT of deep offshore development off this coast. It would make sense for any aviation outfit in this part of the world to be able to offer hele ops for offshore in the next few years

Could be the S-76 leased by CHC / Heli-One. bearing in mind SONAIR in Angola , one of the main offshore operators had affiliations with CHC.

Only one organisation that could have plenty of 76 and the support to provide for offshore and thats CHC / Heli-One
