UAE coy partners OAS to provide helicopter services
The airline industry has recorded another boost as a United Arab Emirates helicopter company; Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) is to begin helicopter services in the country.
The new services will be in partnership with a Nigerian indigenous aircraft charter operator, OAS Helicopters.
ADA has introduced a 15-seater offshore fully-equipped helicopter, AW-139, with registration number, A6-AWH, at OAS’ new terminal, NAF Base Airport, Port Harcourt, as part of the proposal.
Abu Dhabi Aviation’s AFB Contracts Manager, Kevin Den Hertog, said: “ADA had always wanted to invest in Nigeria but had searched and waited to find a reliable and resilient partner; which eventually clicked with OAS’ history and ability to remain firm in operation for over 10 years despite daunting challenges.
“With the level of implementation on the proposed business plan so far, we are quite confident that OAS and ADA partnership will enrich Nigeria’s oil and gas aviation.”
Managing Director and CEO of OAS, Capt Evarest Nnaji, said that the practical kick-off of the partnership, which was landmarked by the arrival and the physical presence of ADA crew and equipment, was one investment step Nigeria’s aviation would enjoy moving forward, especially in the area of oil and gas aircraft support services.
Nnaji said OAS’ huge desire to provide services that met the best possible international standard for Nigeria’s oil and gas aviation was the main driving force in the relationship with Abu Dhabi Aviation
