Era Group Inc. Expands Its Heavy Aircraft Offering

Places Order For Multiple S92 Helicopters

Era Group has signed a multi-year agreement with Sikorsky for the purchase of four Sikorsky S92 heavy helicopters for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $129 million. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery commencing the first quarter of 2016. Era also has an option to acquire five additional S92 helicopters.

"The S92 provides further diversification for deepwater oil and gas missions for our operating and contract-leasing customers around the world," said Sten Gustafson, CEO of Era.

"We're thrilled Era continues to grow its fleet with Sikorsky aircraft, and we want to express our appreciation to Era for the trust and confidence they have in our helicopters," said Carey Bond, President, Sikorsky Global Helicopters.

The multi-mission S92 helicopter incorporates numerous safety features, including a flaw-tolerant design. The aircraft was certified to coordinated Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency and Transport Canada Part 29 requirements, as amended through Amendment 29-47, and remains the only aircraft in its class that is certified to this rigorous airworthiness standard without exception or waiver.
