Bel Air Aviation, based in Denmark, specialises in flights to offshore oil and gas and offshore wind turbine sites. With two CT7-powered AW189 helicopters in its fleet, it is the world leader in AW189 flight hours.

Denmark's Bel Air Aviation and US helicopter giant Era Group are to team up, combining the European experience of the former with the fleet and support services of the latter.

Bel Air's two AW189 super medium twin engine helicopters that were delivered in Q3 2014 have exceeded 6,000 flight hours as of January this year, performing long range offshore transport missions in the North Sea.
