Mr Alastair,

I have thought of joining Bristow but don't want to go to nigeria.

Do they take short term contract staff in Turkmenistan for heavy maintenance?

I did my OJT with Bristow Aberdeen in early 90s.

 

Cheers

a little bit of info.

MHS Aviation Sdn Bhd was the first offshore helicopter company to operate from Turkmenbashi. They had a single Sikorksky S76C on contract supporting Petronas Carigali for their Caspian Sea operation back in 1998.A crew of 4 (3 pilot + 1 LAE) ferry the aircraft from Kerteh to Turkmenbashi via Thailand,Myanmar,Bangladesh,Pakistan,India,Iran and established the first foreign aircraft operation.They were there for almost 2 years before operation stopped due one the leg of the oil rig was broken and required to be towed back to Iran for repair. When the operation resumed MHS did not re bid for the contract due commitment back home. I believe Bristow took over the contract.(FYI Bristow has historical link with MHS).

From the picture Bristow is operating Sikorsky S76A++.

Nice shots Alistair, never knew Bristow had a 'local' firm at Turkmenistan !

 

Before Bristow, a Malaysian company had a S76C rego 9M-STF operating from the airport.

It did a two week ferry flight from Kerteh to Turkmenbashi.

 

G.Days

 

It own by Bristows helicopter Aberdeen joint venture withTurkmenistan helicopter Ltd

To be honest..I have no idea regarding ferry flight kerteh to turkmenbashi.

Those Antonov (AN2/AN24) planes at the back are very interesting indeed as well
