thank you |
Have you checked their website?
You´ll find most of the requested information there.. Still a small company, that is working on several contracts in Africa (e.g. sling load, Offshore), and flying for the UN. |

Thats interesting to know, how many 155's are you talking about?
|
More interestingly, what and where are the rigs out of Tanzania? Mst be a few of them. Especially as CHC have a new contract out of Dar too :ok:
|
Who runs the maintenance on these EC155's?
|
Everett Aviation is also a Eurocopter Maintenance facility...
They have very skilled engineers....... |
Well its now September, have they started operating the EC155 yet and did anybody on here get an interview?
|
Well it's Sept and there are no helicopters at Everett base in Dar right now. Not sure where their maintenance base is.
|
I don't think they were successful in their bid for the Dar contract. Sent them a CV and,,,, silence.......:*
|
Well on their website they have a photo of their new 155 awaiting painting and also a careful bit of editing to change their operation starting in Tanzania from Sep to Oct.
|
Don´t spread rumours....
A new ship has arrived, waiting for repainting.. More helicopters (not 155´s) already bought and on it´s way... Their maintenance facility is their base in Nairobi. When they are operating "in the fields", the engineers are using local spots or their "mobile hangar".. Anyway-it is still a small company (but with good potential). But they choose the pilots and engineers they are inviting for an interview very carefully..... |
No they don't. The problem is they have no contacts within the authorities in Dar or Nairobi and consistently get licencing problems as they want pilots licenced in both countries. They will take any experienced person who will take the risk of spending weeks or longer on no pay to get through the exams.
|
Whom to contact at Everett?
Fellow Ppruners,
I'm about ready to work on getting out of EMS, and I'm thinking about that international touring work, you know 6/6 or something like. Got a bit north of 4,000 hours, Euro twins and Bell singles...managerial experience, current passport. Who's the guy to send the CV to at Everett? Or any other outfit that you could recommend for my situation? Much obliged, ~A. |
You could start by visiting their website! :O www.everettaviation.com. They are currently looking for 155 drivers and you will need to complete some exams(content available online at KCAA site) to obtain a Kenyan licence. Good luck. BB.
|
They now have nicely painted 155, 355, 365 sitting in their Dar es Salaam hangar. Hangar floor resurfaced and painted, All seems to be heading in the right direction. The 355 sat on the top of the Holiday Inn the other day looked good. :ok:
|
What contract do they have there?
|
I have no idea but you dont get three aircraft like that if there's no work for them. No doubt we'll find out sooner or later.
|
how safe?
wondering if any of you living/working in this region could share your opinion on how safe it is (for an American) to work in this area of the world? I've read the US embassy website info, but they seem to paint a negative picture of many places i've lived and travelled in far more wild than they truly were.
I am a respectful citizen of planet earth (not a loud, obnoxious american A-hole), but that being said - I am a white guy from the US. Any experience or opinions you could share is greatly appreciated~ |
living / working here in dar Es Salaam has it's challenges (traffic being the main one) but i've been to a lot worse places. People are friendly, it's safe enough if you live in the right places (Msasani Peninsular is good) and there are plenty of restaurants, bars, etc. Malaria is an issue here but just take the correct precautions and it's fine. Plenty of modern doctors/hospitals/dentists if required. I can have a blood test here, and have the full results in 20 minutes, in the UK it takes up to 2 weeks!! Makes you wonder where the UK is going wrong sometimes.
Regular power cuts, and obviously the tropical diseases/beasties are all what you would and could normally expect living in Africa. It's not a bad place at all. :ok: Any specific questions don't hesitate to PM me and ask. |

Everett Aviation East Africa announce multi-year contract with Statoil in Tanzania
Norwegian energy producer, Statoil, has awarded a multi-year contract for helicopter services to Everett Aviation in Tanzania. According to a statement released to The Guardian yesterday, Everett will lease three new AW139 helicopters from a major operator in support of Statoil’s drilling operations offshore Tanzania and Mozambique whereby two aircrafts will be used for crew change work whilst the third will be a high specification, dedicated, search and rescue aircraft. Simon Everett, CEO of Everett Aviation said: “This is a significant win for Everett and a further step in the company’s business expansion and focus on the oil and gas industry offshore East Africa. We are delighted to have the opportunity to provide services to Statoil and to continue our provision of offshore helicopter services in East Africa.” He said his company is committed to the development of the local helicopter industry and will shortly be selecting a group of Tanzanian pilots who will be sent for training at the Bristow Flight Academy in the USA for a Commercial Helicopter Licence. Everett believes this will bring significant benefits to the project and the long term development of the local industry. The Company will be expanding their existing base in Dar es Salaam with the construction of a new 2,300m2 hangar plus offices and workshops to be ready in January. |
Rumours suggest that this currently US registered AW139 recently off the assembly line in Philadelphia, may be the first of the three 139's destined for Everett's new offshore contract with Statoil (see post above):

Everett Aviation |
I worked next door to these guys a couple of years ago, I had a wander over and introduced myself and they seem like a good bunch of guys, the ones I met anyway.
They get to do some interesting jobs. I'm sure I often saw their aircraft on top of one of the hotels in Dar. :) |
That'll be the Holiday Inn.
|
Well it would be about 3 hrs quicker to the Holiday Inn by helicopter than by car. Bloody awful place to live!

TZ/ Mozambique contract
This is a peculiar one. Everett has announced that they've won the contract.....And... Similarly Bristow have announce that they've won the same contract with statoil. What's the real deal?? Or have Bristow bought Everett....
Que Ondas wae? |
Bristow have gone in with a local partner to bid the contract. Everett already have an AOC to operated in TZ. As the press release in Aug stated they will dry lease 3 x 139 from Bristow. With work coming up in other east Africa regions this bid model could be very successful in other areas. Lets wait and see!!
Certification Starlite Aviation have also recently gain an AOC to operate in TZ so local as well as international operators will make bidding very competitive in the next few years. |
Jobs
So who does one apply for a job to? Bristow or Everett?
I'm a JAA TRI/TRE on AW 139 with 2200HRS. Also some very experienced LAE's on type. Any info on pay, perks, rotation etc?? |

SOC
Any more info on the company? Is it part of a group / co- owned by a Kenyan / political heavyweight / Rupert etc ... Any info ...?
BTW I sent my CV over a week ago and no reply. Seems they might not be interested... |
Hello.
Somebody told me Statoil some days ago cancelled Everett/Bristow's contract giving 45 days notice. Three brand new AW139 aircrafts operated there, 20 people pilots and engineers. Is that a confirmed news? If yes god bless the colleagues working there! :yuk: |
I also heard from someone in the know that Statoil will not require Everett/Bristow services from the end of January. Oil price is starting to bite the offshore industry.
