Briefing
Increases local offshore rotorcraft capacity: the new hangar in Campos dos Goytacazes houses two Sikorsky S‑92A helicopters, directly expanding onshore support for Brazil’s offshore transport and emergency operations; see the S‑92 support centre in Rio de Janeiro for wider S‑92 sustainment build‑out.
Signals CHC’s regional expansion and mission diversity: the facility aligns with CHC’s recent deployments of mission‑ready helicopters globally, such as placing upgraded AW139s into service in Western Australia, reflecting continued investment in SAR/medevac and offshore services; see CHC’s AW139 deployments in Western Australia.
