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.
