The Southern Helicopter Company and the Malaysian MHS Aviation Berhad Company inked a contract in Vung Tau City on September 26.

Accordingly, one EC-225 helicopter, two pilots and two mechanics from the Southern Helicopter Company will support offshore oil and gas exploration activities in Malaysia for two years. The Vietnamese pilots and mechanics will be tested to receive work permits in Malaysia.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, a representative from the Malaysian company highly valued its Vietnamese partner and Vietnamese pilots and mechanics’ professionalism, and laid out the plan to put the EC-225 into operation in October.

The Southern Helicopter Company has operated EC-225s since 2008. The company was the first EC-225 operator in Vietnam and owns the largest EC-225 fleet in Southeast Asia.

With advanced equipment, the EC-225 is a popular choice for offshore oil and gas exploration and rescue at sea operations.
