LCI has placed two Leonardo AW139 helicopters on long-term operating leases with its newest customer, Heligo Charters.
The aircraft were recently delivered to Heligo’s base at Juhu Airport in Mumbai, from where they will provide crew transfer services for India’s largest energy company, ONGC.
Nigel Leishman, Executive Vice President & Global Head of Marketing at LCI, said: “Heligo is one of India’s foremost providers of onshore and offshore helicopter services, and we are delighted to support their operations.
“India and the wider Asia-Pacific region is a diverse and fast-growing market for helicopter leasing which today accounts for around a third of our global aircraft placements. We see huge potential for further long-term growth in the region across a range of operating sectors.”
Captain Padmanabhan, CEO at Heligo, said: “LCI’s expert team went above and beyond to meet our requirements swiftly and effectively, providing invaluable technical assistance. We’re looking forward to a productive, long-term partnership.”
