Oil and gas industry news and data for helicopter operators






oil and gas


Helicopters play a critical role in the oil and gas industry by providing fast, reliable transport between onshore bases and offshore platforms—often located hundreds of kilometers from the coast. These flights carry personnel, equipment, and medical teams, ensuring continuous operation in remote and challenging environments. Rotorcraft are especially valued for their ability to land on confined helidecks, operate in adverse weather, and respond rapidly to emergencies. As offshore exploration moves deeper and farther, the demand for helicopters with greater range, safety, and efficiency has become increasingly vital to the industry's logistics backbone.
