NHV Group Establishes New Base at Blackpool Airport

At the end of 2020, NHV Group, a distinguished leader in B2B helicopter services (headquartered in Ostend, Belgium), inaugurated a new base at Blackpool Airport to facilitate passenger transfer services, supporting their client’s operations in the East Irish Sea. NHV won a contract with Spirit Energy in May 2020 to provide these services, taking over from Babcock MCS on December 1, 2020. Their dedicated team operates AW169 aircraft to manage offshore crew changes. The AW169 represents the pinnacle of modern aviation technology – a latest-generation 4.6/4.8 tonne twin-turbine helicopter that delivers class-leading performance and versatile capability, even in the most demanding conditions. In addition, flights are also performed with the advanced AW139 model.

Operating from multiple bases on two continents, NHV’s professional team is committed to excellence in servicing the energy-producing industry, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic renewables sector. Complementing their core services are Maritime Solutions, including precision-focused Harbour Pilot Services. They also extend their capabilities beyond traditional helicopter operations. As an accredited training organisation (Part 147 and ATO), they foster the development of aviation training and expertise. Additionally, their commitment to service excellence is evident not only in supporting their own fleet but also through the provision of third-party maintenance services to a diverse clientele, spanning civil and military sectors. Their fleet comprises approximately 35 high-value helicopters, ensuring versatility and reliability in every mission.
