The UK’s Surrey Police has awarded the pilot and training contract for

its new Air Support Unit to PremiAir Aviation Services. The unit, which commences operations next April from its Fairoaks base, is awaiting completion of an EC135 advanced police helicopter (a type PremiAir already flies on behalf of several

UK police forces).

Captain Ollie Dismore, head of police and utility services at PremiAir, said: “We have been supporting Surrey since their earliest days at Dunsfold in 1985 and look forward to continuing the relationship as they develop their new service.”
