OHS is committed to its North Sea customers and continues to invest in its fleet to ensure it can execute safe and highly reliable transportation services. Joining are two Leonardo AW139s, an Airbus H175 and an S-92.

Offshore Helicopter Services UK Limited (OHS) has signed lease agreements with Milestone Aviation Group for four additional helicopters, comprising two new Leonardo AW139s, one new Airbus H175 and one Sikorsky S-92, which are scheduled to be delivered in 2025 through 2026.

The Airbus H175 and Sikorsky S-92 helicopters will be configured for oil and gas missions to support OHS's offshore operations in the UK. The Leonardo AW139 aircraft will be deployed on UK SAR.

Milestone also announced that it has extended existing lease agreements with OHS for four aircraft, including one Sikorsky S-92 and three Airbus H175 helicopters.

Chris Krajewski, executive director of OHS, states: “OHS is committed to its North Sea customers and continues to invest in its fleet to ensure we can execute safe and highly reliable transportation services. This investment also demonstrates our commitment to expand our fleet of Leonardo AW139, Sikorsky S92 and Airbus H175 helicopters; three platforms with a proven track record in this challenging environment. Milestone has been a long-term strategic partner of OHS and a critical supporter of the strong growth we have experienced over the last two years. We are very pleased to further expand our relationship with Milestone.”

“We are very pleased to be part of OHS's success story and feel privileged to have been a trusted partner over the years, through all the cycles of our industry,” adds Sebastien Moulin, chief commercial officer, Milestone. “Milestone has consistently invested in the most modern, fuel-efficient aircraft, ensuring we are well positioned to support our customers with their fleet requirements through the financing of new and used aircraft.
