A well known name is returning to British skies with creation of a new rotorcraft operation to support North Sea oil and gas exploration and production activity. The name is Bond, Bond Offshore Helicopters (BOH), and it will be licensed to fly.

Establishment of the company effectively ends the CHC Scotia/Bristow duopoly that has reigned in the British sector of the North Sea in recent years following consolidation in the 1990s. Canadian-owned CHC Scotia, which had absorbed Brintel (British International, the former British Airways Helicopters) and Norway’s Helikopter Service Group (which since 1996 had included the original Bond Helicopters, known as BHL), currently competes against Bristow Helicopters, a subsidiary of Louisiana-based Offshore Logistics.
