I am a bit confused. There is or was a norsk helicopter bought by and merged with bristow.

There was a norsk helicopter merged with chc.

And finally there is a norsk helicopter service "independent"

Maybe not so independent!

What's a Helicoper? Something to do with Police?

Nah, a Helicoper is someone that just 'gets by' in a spiral.

Just viewed their website and it appears they have some sort of relationship to Bond - anyone know any more about that?

Norsk Helikopter is now 100% Bristow (originally 49%) and is now operating as Bristow Norway AS.

CHC Helikopter Service is what it says, CHC.

Norsk Helikopter Service is a new start with a connection to Bond. They are yet to get contracts and aircraft. They are just an AOC at the moment and their name is simply trying to ride off the success of both Norsk Helikopter and Helikopter Service.

LN-OEA - aircraftregister.net

Couldn't navigate the Norwegian caa site it seems to be worse than uk one.

Bravo73

Exactly.

Are you actually aware of who "International Aviation Leasing Limited" are? I'm guessing not.

Anyway, enough from me. Adios.

Bravo:

Do you know who owns Norsk Helikopter Service? I think all in all they do own the aircraft.

Bravo73

Yes.

See my post above.

Ok lets put it another way.

They do have a 139 registered to the AOC .

Happy at the back?

LN-OEA, curiously, seems to be operating out of the very 'rugged and norwegian like' Norwich!

helihub

When I raised the question of LN-OEA operating from Norwich, they told me... "The reason the AW 139 is on Norwegian registry is because it is operated by Norsk Helikopterservice AS (NHS) and subsequently leased to Bond Offshore."

The Norwegian register lists it as below - where the owner (in normal type) differs from the Operator, the Norwegian CAA (known as Luftfartstilsynet locally) put the operator it italics underneath.

International Aviation Leasing have 6xAS332 and 2xEC225 on the G register, all in the G-RED# series.
