Eastern Airways is to fly personnel for BP in a new charter service between Aberdeen & Sumburgh, from June in support of BP's west of Shetland operations.
New jobs as oil flights relocate to Sumburgh | Shetland News
The contract is worth £30m & replaces the direct ABZ-W.Shetland helicopter flights. Will start off using 2xJ41s but changing to Saab 2000s as projects are upmanned. Oil workers will link up with the helis at Sumburgh.
A good win for Eastern & I'll bet Loganair would have loved to have got their hands on that contract.
Also, I see Bristow Group are taking a 60% interest in Eastern, although Eastern will continue to operate independently. Interesting move by both.
