Opens Super Base In Houma, LA

Era Group Inc. continues to expand its S-92 helicopter fleet with acceptance of a second S-92 helicopter baseline delivery.

In January 2014, Era signed a multi-year contract with Sikorsky for S-92 helicopters. Sikorsky and Era celebrated the first S-92 helicopter baseline delivery at the 2015 Helicopter Association International Heli-Expo show in Orlando, Florida. In parallel with the opening of Era’s new Super Base in Houma, Louisiana, Sikorsky announced the baseline delivery of the second S-92 helicopter to Era. The aircraft are expected to enter service later this year.

“This helicopter will service clients from our new Super Base, strategically located in Houma, Louisiana, and promises to be a reliable, safe and comfortable helicopter for our customers,” said Chris Bradshaw, CEO of Era Group.

Sikorsky representatives attended the grand opening of Era’s new Super Base in Houma. The new 65,000 square foot hangar will facilitate passenger transportation to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sikorsky has delivered more than 250 S-92 helicopters to customers throughout the world.
