In 2022 alone, the company experienced a 50% increase in the number of air transport contracts for the oil and gas industry. “To further enhance and diversify this operation of Leader, we invested approximately US$ 10 million in this area this year,” explains Junia Hermont, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Leader Aviation.

Expertise: Flights and Landings In Complex Locations
The growth of Helicopter Operations for the oil and gas industry at Leader has been built on a solid foundation: with over 40 years of experience in this segment, the company reached, in 2021, the mark of 1 million flight hours on missions focused on this sector. In addition to having this experience, Leader invests in training and the development of systems that ensure safety and excellence in service delivery. “These air operations occur in isolated locations that require a high level of expertise.
