PHI Exceeds 1,000 Flight Hours With One S-92 Helicopter

Operator Flies Six S-92s In Oil Industry Support Operations

Petroleum Helicopters Inc. achieved an industry milestone this month by surpassing 1,000 flight hours with just one of its Sikorsky S-92 helicopters.

"Our customers demand a safe, reliable, and efficient product, and the S- 92 has consistently fulfilled these expectations," said PHI Chairman and CEO Al A. Gonsoulin. "Since introducing the S-92 (file photo of type, above) into our fleet we have increased the level of service we are able to offer our customers, we are very pleased with its overall performance and dependability."

The company flies six S-92s supporting the offshore oil market in the Gulf of Mexico, including two S-92s the company ordered in February at Heli-Expo 2005.

"This achievement is evidence of the confidence PHI has in our product. The S-92's robust design and technological advancements have made it more than ready to meet the demanding needs of our offshore oil customers," said Jeff Pino, Sikorsky's senior vice president for corporate strategy and commercial programs.

The S-92 is the first helicopter in the world certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency/Joint Aviation Authorities (EASA/JAA) to the latest and most rigorous safety standards. The aircraft was also the first helicopter certified by the FAA to FAR Part 29 Transport Rotorcraft, Amendment 47, the latest U.S. safety regulations, which mirror the European standards.
