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.
The H145 has been a dependable performer for Wiking so far.

Wiking Helikopter Service has entered into a three-year lease extension with Milestone Aviation for an Airbus H145 helicopter.

The 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 CEO Ernst Nassl says: “We are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Milestone through this three-year lease extension of the H145 and appreciate the team's continued support and expertise. This reliable and high-performance offshore aircraft will help us continue to deliver safe, fast and efficient offshore operations across the North and Baltic sea areas.”

Milestone SVP commercial François Arnaud adds: “The renewable energy sector is an exciting market, and we have a growing number of helicopters operating in the space. This deal allows us to continue our efforts in diversifying our portfolio, which has been a top priority for Milestone. We are also delighted to continue supporting Wiking Helikopter Service and further develop our strong partnership with it.”
