Sikorsky, Bristow Sign Long-Term Support Deal

World’s Largest S-92 Helo Fleet Gets Aftermarket Package Into 2030s

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, and Bristow Group Inc., provider of innovative and sustainable vertical flight solutions, announced a multi-year agreement to provide enhanced support for Bristow’s S-92 helicopter fleet, the world's largest at more than 60 aircraft in key markets globally.

The two companies have a collaborative relationship going back decades, and this agreement further deepens that connection, with the aftermarket support that includes Sikorsky’s Total Assurance Program providing Bristow continued support to operate its fleet within a known budget and reducing the risk of unplanned expenses. Bristow’s fleet operates primarily in offshore energy transportation as well as search and rescue missions.

Leon Silva, Vice President of Global Commercial and Military Systems at Sikorsky. "We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Bristow, one of the world's leading providers of helicopter services to the offshore energy industry.

“We are committed to providing exceptional support to our customers and ensuring the continued success of the S-92 helicopter, which has a lifetime availability average of over 90% and many aircraft achieve more than 1,500 flight hours per year on average in the demanding offshore energy industry."

The Total Assurance Package includes the following provisions:

– Power-by-the-Hour (PBH) agreement for offshore energy services and search and rescue helicopters;

– Coverage for over 90 percent of replacement costs for parts including airframe, drive train, gearboxes, avionics and consumable parts;

– Enhanced global fleet support with access to Sikorsky’s worldwide network of forward stocking locations (FSL) and field service representatives (FSR); and

– Access to Sikorsky360 customer portal, providing Bristow with the ability to place orders, check parts status, access services and financial information, and view aircraft data.

Stu Stavley, Bristow's Chief Operating Officer for Offshore Energy Services said, "Bristow is the largest operator of the S-92 globally. This long-term support agreement will enable us to maintain our high level of service to our customers, while also controlling our operational costs and improving our overall efficiency."
