Nigerian charter operator OAS Helicopters has awarded Rusada a contract for the use and implementation of its MRO and flight operations software, Envision. OAS (Odengene Air Shuttle Services) has operated in the region since 1992. Headquartered in Lagos and also operating out of Port Harcourt, it recently acquired a new AW139 helicopter for use in supporting oil and gas operations for the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation.

As well as signing up for several of Envision's key modules, OAS is also employing its flight operations software solution to help organise its flights and crew. This new deal further strengthens Rusada's footprint in Africa and will be supported by its Middle East and Africa team, based in Dubai.

Edwin George, deputy managing director of OAS Helicopters says: “We were looking for an industry-proven, all-in-one solution for our operation. In Envision we found a system with comprehensive capability and a logical interface that will serve to significantly increase the efficiency of our operation.”

Julian Stourton, CEO at Rusada adds: “The awarding of this contract during the current pandemic is recognition of Rusada's ability to implement, advise and support our customers remotely. Work on the project with OAS has already begun, and not only are we finding this remote approach pragmatic, but also very efficient. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with OAS Helicopters.”
