NHV Group has signed a five-year contract extension with Ithaca Energy, providing aviation services to Ithaca's operated FPF-1 installation, Alba, Captain and Erskine oil and gas fields in the Scottish North Sea. The extension encompasses seven-day-a-week coverage and will start in January 2021.

NHV will provide two H175 aircraft – one primary and one back-up – for this operation. The H175 iAirbus Helicopters super medium type is specifically designed to meet evolving mission needs in the oil and gas industry.

“We are extremely pleased with this important agreement, further strengthening our solid partnership with Ithaca Energy,” says Jamie John, NHV's base manager in Aberdeen. “This extension is a direct result of NHV's continued commitment to safety and top-class service for our client and its passengers. We thank Ithaca Energy for its continued trust in NHV and we look forward to supporting it in the years ahead.”
