LCI has placed two Airbus H145D3 helicopters for operations in Papua New Guinea with Santos Limited and Pacific Helicopters. The Santos placement is LCI’s first-ever lease to an end-user, although both helicopters will be operated by Pacific Helicopters on behalf of Santos subsidiary Oil Search. 

Both helicopters were delivered recently and Pacific Helicopters is using them to support liquid natural gas and other energy facilities in Papua New Guinea that provide exports to Japan. “The helicopters will also support Santos Foundation activities in Papua New Guinea and its work to build resilient communities,” according to LCI.
