PHI has about 230 helicopters total but some are in the Airmedical role.

PHI has international operations in West Africa (Angola and DRC) and Antarctica for the US National Science Foundation.

CHC is more diverse and has a greater number of medium and large helicopters than PHI.

PHI has about 170 aircraft in the GOM, 20 International and 30 in EMS Airmedical applications.
