OUR PURPOSE
We provide helicopters for any type of mission, be it offshore, utility or military. We pledge to work together with our customers to deliver safety-focused, cost efficient operations within current and future industries relevant to our markets.
Beginning in early 2027 we will provide training and simulation through our state of the art European Simulation & Training Academy (ESTA). Creating a Norwegian powerhouse for aviation training, simulation, logistics and maintenance is the best way to ensure the safety of everyone who flies as part of their profession.
Building future competence also includes training drone pilots, as drones are used in multiple industries. As is the case for helicopters, expertise is needed on local conditions such as harsh weather, wind and geography, which is an important building block for ESTA.
THE team
CEO Ole Petter Bakken has worked relentlessly since 2000 with one goal in mind – to build the European Simulation & Training Academy (ESTA) at Stavanger Airport, Sola. He has over 20 years experience from the aviation, military, oil and gas industry.
