Air Greenland has announced the purchase of nine new H125 helicopters, indicating a significant investment in the renewal of their helicopter fleet. The aircraft is scheduled for delivery beginning late summer 2023 and continuing out in 2024, with the goal of progressively modernizing the company's present helicopter fleet of AS350s while remaining appealing for charter work in the tourist and minerals sectors.

This involves, installing equipment, painting the aircraft in Air Greenland paint scheme in our brand new paint facilities, and ensuring that they are operationally ready. The aircraft will be prepared at our service center at Eggemoen by our Part 145, support/logistics and CAMO team. Overall, the H125 helicopter investment represents a big step forward for Air Greenland and demonstrates the company's dedication to provide the best possible service to its customers.

Earlier this month, our Head of Sales, Stine Østnes, represented Østnes Helicopters at Ringerikskonferansen 2022. Ringerikskonferansen is conducted by the Ringerike Næringsforening, and this year's conference focused on the business prospects and difficulties in the Ringerike region from an international, national, and local viewpoint. Together, high experienced leaders and local firms from a variety of industries were gathered to share their beliefs, and to inspire and discuss the business communities' future. For that occasion, Stine Østnes were requested to deliver a brief speech on why we opted to invest our business at Eggemoen, Hønefoss, and to share how we worked to get to where we are now. A great and central location for distribution with proximity to Gardermoen and Oslo, faith in the vision and long-term perspective of Eggemoen Aviation & Technology park, and a conducive atmosphere are some key words for why we opted to invest our business right here. In consistent with the commitment at Eggemoen, Østnes Helicopters' aim over the last year has been to co-locate our business areas, recruit local employees, take responsibility for increasing industry capabilities by becoming an educational firm, and contribute to greater industry safety via specialization. This year, we were given the RNF's Business Award, confirming that our efforts over the last year have been successful. The jury's reasons for awarding the Business Award 2022 were as follows: "The company is relatively new to the Ringerike region. It developed a "One Stop Shop" and service center for Airbus helicopters in Eggemoen in 2020 as part of the Eggemoen Aviation & Technology park. In aircraft engineering and service alone, 12 new staff were employed in 2022 due to the company's rapid expansion. In addition, they have substantial growth ambitions, and it is certain that their expansion will occur at Eggemoen. The company is an excellent example of what can be accomplished in a technological environment in Eggemoen, and we believe it can lead the way for both its own expansion and the formation of other businesses in the region. The company is also engaged with recruiting and settlement in the Ringerike region in order to increase its visibility and presence." Photo: Elin Harstad Iversen, Ringerikes Blad After the conference, Stine Østnes expressed her excitement of receiving the award to Ringerikes Blad: There are plenty intriguing events occurring. Future developments at Eggemoen will increase, according to Stine Østnes, who pledges additional investments and employment. She commends the proprietor of Eggemoen, Ola Tronrud, for facilitating the business. The position of Ringerike is precisely ideal. (Ringerikes Blad, 10.13.22) We are honored and humbled to receive this award, and we are grateful to our employees, partners, and customers for allowing us to do what we love most!

#HelisinkiCiticopter, which has got off to a literally flying start with their business and charter operations, is increasing its fleet with two corporate helicopters. The company has ordered one premium-quality Airbus ACH130 helicopter and will also rent an identical one. These helicopters, the most advanced in the business flight sector, will be handed over to Helsinki Citycopter in the spring, with the first commercial flights starting in summer 2022. Helsinki Citycopter began operations in 2020, bringing helicopter services more available to the general public. Services familiar in international metropolises became popular among Finnish customers during the pandemic because of flight restrictions. Encouraged by the higher demand, Helsinki Citycopter decided to expand its fleet. They chose Airbus ACH130, which is one of the world’s most advanced models not only because of its flight properties and safety but also its environmental friendliness. With the new helicopters, Helsinki Citycopter’s fleet will grow to five, and become the most modern in the Nordic countries. “Since the 1980s, Finland has not seen corporate-level helicopters like these, and once we receive the helicopters in the spring, we will have the best fleet in the Nordic countries. Best in the market in terms of quiet operation and environmental impact in this size range, the helicopter is also equipped with technology that increases safety and comfort,” says Joonas Nurmi, the co-founder of Helsinki Citycopter. The Airbus ACH130 is more spacious than earlier helicopters used for civilian flights in Finland, and it has been designed for clientele that expects premium services. The soundproofed cabin is equipped with air conditioning, and the raised rear part of the cabin offers an unobstructed view in all directions. The turbine engine has been improved to be more fuel-efficient, which reduces the environmental impact. ”The new helicopter is not only efficient, safe and stable, but in terms of the distance and number of passengers, it consumes less fuel than an average-sized motorboat. These investments are indeed in line with our sustainability strategy aiming at carbon neutrality. We are the only aviation company whose service has been granted the Sustainable Travel Finland label, and these new helicopters aim to reduce flight emissions even further,” says Nurmi. Finland covered quickly with helicopters The seven-seater ACH130 has a maximum speed of 240 km/h with a maximum flight time of four hours. “With these new helicopters, we can offer more people memorable travel experiences and a quicker connection to places that have previously been difficult to access or at least taken a long time to reach in Finland. As an air-travel hub, Helsinki-Vantaa will continue to connect Europe and Asia, so our service will be welcomed by transit travellers who want to see as much as possible in a short space of time. At best, we can take customers on board during the few hours they have between flights. We strongly believe that helicopter travel will also increase in Finland,” says Joonas Nurmi. Helsinki Citycopter’s current fleet consists of Airbus H125, EC120 and Robinson R44 helicopters, carrying 3–5 passengers. Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council chose Helsinki Citycopter as the 2022 startup. The company is also involved in Visit Finland’s Sustainable Travel Finland programme and in the City of Helsinki’s partnership network that promotes sustainable travel. #ØstnesHelicopters, the Official Airbus Helicopters distributor in the Nordics, are very pleased with the decision by Helsinki Citycopter to make ACH130 their choice when expanding their helicopter business in Finland. “Having sold more than 300 Airbus Helicopters since our inception in 1993, we know these products by heart and as such that the ACH130 will fulfil the requirements as well as expectations by Helsinki Citycopter and its customers. We wish Citycopter all success with its fleet expansion and we do look forward to increasing our cooperation resting on Østnes Helicopter’s One Stop Shop concept”, says Frode Østnes, the executive chairman of Kjell A Østnes AS.
