First CHC S-92 enters revenue service in North Sea
CHC Helikopter Service's first S-92 entered revenue service this week under contract with Norsk Hydro, one of Norway's major oil companies.
Prior to entering into service, the aircraft underwent modifications including the installation of passenger entertainment systems and additional communications equipment at the CHC maintenance facilities in Stavanger, Norway.
This S-92 helicopter is part of an aircraft order that Sikorsky signed with CHC back in the spring of 2004. This is the first of two S-92 helicopters that will be owned by CHC and operated under contract with Norsk Hydro.
The second S-92, also under contract with Norsk Hydro, was delivered in April and is scheduled to enter into revenue service later this month.
CHC also has a contract with Statoil for one not yet delivered S-92 helicopter that will be operating out of Kristansund, Norway. This aircraft is scheduled to become operational this summer.
