An H145 aircraft, which was delivered to Wiking in June 2018, will continue to be operated across the operator's seapilot and offshore windfarm operations in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea regions.

Wiking has been an offshore transport specialist in the North and Baltic Sea for over 45 years. It has three bases in Germany and two in the UK. To standardise and modernise its fleet, it has taken on another AW139.

Germany's Wiking Helikopter has appointed Ernst Nassl as CEO. Spokesperson for the shareholders Aylin Yildiz Basel says: “Ernst is an exceptional leader and has demonstrated leadership in his previous professional posts, including senior leadership and general manager positions at Siemens and Nokia."
