expanding the company's number of staff with approx. 30 new
positions, the main category of new personnel being pilots and
technicians. The contracts entail that Norsk Helikopter will
increase its fleet of new Sikorsky S-92A helicopters with three new
aircrafts to a total of five Sikorsky flagships. 'Norsk Helikopter
was the first operator in Europe to start offshore operations with
two Sikorsky S-92A in February and March 2005. These two
helicopters have so far produced almost 1000 flight hours and have
for the most part complied with our requirements for utilization
and efficiency. It is therefore a pleasure to offer new Sikorsky
S-92A helicopters to the many passengers of ConocoPhillips, BP, and
Talisman, with Sikorsky S-92A representing the new generation of
helicopters with modern comfort, long range and increased safety,'
