Helicopter Search & Rescue

We have provided SAR services in all of our operating countries and regularly supply a dedicated SAR helicopter and crew to cover exploration projects in remote areas.

In the UK alone, we completed our 10,000th SAR mission late in 2005 and have flown in excess of 15,000 SAR hours rescuing nearly 7,000 people.

We train (via FB Heliservices, our joint venture company) all of the military SAR pilots and crewmen in the UK and look forward, during 2006, to extend this training expertise world-wide in all aspects of SAR operations.

Bristow and SAR have been inextricably linked for three decades and have won the prestigious Queen’s Award for Innovation for our technical developments in SAR.

Bristow and SAR are synonymous; we have more SAR operating experience than any other operator in the commercial sector. Search and Rescue IS our business.
