Who's operating 76s
Here is a quick run-down, how many, where:
Sikorsky has delivered over 530 to date, about 550 by year’s end. 76’s are operated all over the world; offshore oil service you mention has about 150 aircraft. Corporate and VIP transport service in the US and UK is pretty big market segment. Airline service is big too; Finland, Hong Kong-Macao, and British Columbia are the biggest. There are SAR aircraft in Japan, some see service in Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand and China, all told about 100 76s in the Pacific Rim. EMS service is somewhere north of 50 76’s, mostly in the US, Norway/Sweden have a few. I believe last count was 47 countries, every continent and over 3 million flight hours, in fact one 76 just went over 25k hours.
