Jagal Group Subsidiary Is Supported by CHC Helicopter
Jagal Group has announced the operational start-up of its subsidiary Atlantic Aviation, a helicopter-transportation company providing services to Nigeria's oil-and-gas industry. Atlantic Aviation is supported by CHC Helicopter, a world leader in providing high-quality helicopter services to customers with offshore O&G platforms and vessels.
Atlantic Aviation has been issued an air-operating certificate (AOC) and is now ready to provide its customers with quality operating standards and delivery. Atlantic Aviation is proud to build on CHC's safety and technology leadership in helicopter services, which are widely acknowledged as and continue to set the standard for excellence.
Twin engine medium aircraft (Sikorsky S76C+ helicopters) are already in country, soon to be followed by several of the Agusta Westland AW139 helicopters. With this fleet of medium-lift helicopters, Atlantic Aviation is able to serve all of the offshore operators in Nigeria with more than sufficient range to access even deepwater rigs and installations.
Atlantic Aviation has already established a permanent base on Snake Island with state of the art facilities and hangarage. Atlantic Aviation is currently developing an operational hub in Port Harcourt that will serve the epicentre Niger Delta region. "We are proud to have set up this world-class helicopter services company, harnessing the safety and quality standards from the global arena and being able to offer superior services to the Nigerian market," said Anwar Jarmakani, chairman of Jagal Group. "As Atlantic Aviation grows, we intend to develop our talent to deliver international standards here at home."
With the expertise of Jagal and CHC, Atlantic Aviation is extremely well placed to provide the Nigeria O&G industry with seamless helicopter-transportation services. Plans are also in the works to bring global expertise to much-needed search-and-rescue services in the country, giving greater confidence to the O&G industry and the aviation sector in general.
