OMNI, August 20, 2019 - During the Labace event, which occurred from August 13th to 15th, Omni was awarded by Leonardo Helicopters, one of the world's leading helicopter manufacturers, for the historic performance of the most distant flight ever made from the Brazilian coast.
This flight was performed by a Leonardo Helicopters aircraft, model AW189 (using a belly tank), to serve a seismic vessel.
The recorded distance was 245 nautical miles, about 453 km, the furthest flight taken by a Brazilian civil helicopter. The operation took place on May 22nd , 23rd and 24th, carrying 77 passengers in total.
The AW189 is considered a super medium class aircraft that can carry up to 16 passengers.
For Roberto Coimbra, CEO of Omni Táxi Aéreo, receiving this award is a milestone for the company's trajectory and confirms the AW189 as one of Omni's solutions to leverage Oil & Gas's passenger and cargo transportation operations in the pre-salt area.

| Congratulations!! |
| I've already flown 502 km from Orleans - SC to Chapec� - SC with a Robinson R44, now doing a leg like that on the high seas must be really cool! Congratulations to the team. |
| Congrats 👍 |
| Congratulations 👏👏👏 |
| Anyone know how many passengers were taken out on the average flight? |
| I went to the Fulmar once in a 139, 4 pax and their bags went on a 92 heading out in the afternoon. |
| I remember right then. Nothing like the 225 with full load 😉 |
| 285nm, but don’t think the 189 has been up quite that far from Abz yet - I’ve done the ESB a couple of times though. It was good weather and not many pax etc. |
| I’m wondering that too. What’s the distance between ABZ and the Magnus? 280 Nm? |
