Lider Aviacao has begun operating two new strategic contracts for the oil and gas industry with two dedicated Sikorsky S-92 aircraft. Operating from the company’s base in Jacarepaguá, near Rio de Janeiro, one of the aircraft was already part of Líder’s fleet and the other was added in September, bringing to 16 the number of S-92 aircraft in the company’s portfolio.

With advanced technology, operational efficiency and high passenger capacity, the S-92 is the ideal solution to meet the demands of offshore missions for more distant offshore units, guaranteeing Lider Aviacao customers a service focused on safety and contributing to the continuous quality of the sector’s activities.

“The achievement of these new contracts reinforces our commitment to excellence and solidifies Lider Aviacao’s position as a reference in offshore operations in Brazil,” says Diego Reis, general director of the helicopter operations unit. “Our operation is fully prepared to offer full support to this operation, ensuring safety and innovation in one of the most critical areas of the sector.

“Líder is always working to offer the best in performance in the demands of the oil and gas sector, which is so important for the development of our country.”
