Services
The helicopter serving industry spans wide sectors; however, we streamline our operation to only sectors we seek to service. In this sector, there exist limited numbers of service providers most especially to the specialized service area which AHL will exploit.
Currently, there are just five operational service companies in Nigeria and West Africa. These are; Bristow Helicopters, Aero Contractors, Pan African Airlines, Caverton Helicopters and OAS Helicopters. Large firms such as Bristow Group and Aero Contractors services major multinational Oil & Gas companies and operates basically offshore. Small upcoming indigenous companies now empowered by the oil industry bill and the clamour for indigenous company’s involvement in the industry lack helicopter support for their operations. Provision of charter services to these and other servicing companies is lacking.
AHL would be bridging the gap between the services rendered by the large and the smaller helicopter servicing companies, hence reaching out to a large range of customers.
Helicopter services for VIPs, specialized helicopters for pest control, pipeline Inspection for NNPC, Energy companies, construction of masts etc. for telecommunication companies, mapping and surveying for mining are all non-existence. Surely, we have a huge market for the helicopters.
Given our technical expertise over three decades, AHL is adequately equipped to render the following helicopter services:
OFFSHORE OPERATIONS
AHL is capable of providing offshore helicopter support. With experience and capabilities we have garnered over the years and our dedication to excellence, we are ever ready and determined to support customer goals and objectives by providing value-added services that are matchless in the Nigeria upstream sector. Our services in this regard include crew changes and logistics support to offshore platform, rigs, badges and ships.
EXECUTIVE VIP TRANSPORT
Air transport includes charter services. These involves the use of helicopters to ply locations where there exist no airport terminals (including remote areas) as well as short distances which cannot be assessed by Fixed Wing aircrafts. AHL will render such services to VIP who needs to catch a meeting, go to a remote natural resource area, attend events, transport dead bodies etc. In this package, we will fly to and from any destination no matter how remote within Nigeria and Africa, South of Sahara. For instance, we can offer non-stop flight from Lagos to the following states: Abia, Abuja, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, Kebbi, Niger, Kogi, Nassarawa, Rivers, and all the states in Western Nigeria.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE
Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) has become an integral part of top quality medical services in West Africa. This can be seen by the inclusion of helipads in newly constructed major medical facilities. Our services in this regard include emergency evacuation, search and rescue, amongst others.
SPECIALIZED FLIGHT OPERATIONS
A helicopter aerial/specialised flight operation requires special flying skills. AHL is adequately positioned to cater for specialized aerial (helicopter flight) needs.
