Out of interrest, who still has A models on contract in the offshore industry.

3 in Indonesia on contract to Conocco, star Energy and Premier Oil. They are soon to be replaced by C++'s, thought I would get the question in while they are still on contract.

There were 2 with China Southern on Hainan Island, not sure if they are still on contract.

All the Bristow machines are Turbomeca powered.

The two on Hainan Island are long gone now and replaced with C++s. I don't think that Bristow has any A series or A+ on contract any more. Many have been used for spare parts and some were for sale.

There are still at least 3 operating in the Gulf of Mexico.

There is one in Djibouti which has been idle for a few years, but may soon be back in service.
