Accompanying the growth of the oil and gas sector in Brazil in recent years, Leader Aviation notes a strong expansion of its helicopter operations business unit, which provides services for this segment. 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.

The company, which is a pioneer in helicopter operations for the oil and gas industry in Brazil, will expand its fleet of aircraft for this business unit by about 30% this year – to serve, among others, the new base and the new hangar operating in the state of Rio de Janeiro. “Moreover, it is worth noting that Rio accounts for about 40% of Leader’s bases for Helicopter Operations for the oil and gas industry in the country,” points out Junia.

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. That’s why we have an extremely specialized and qualified team to carry out offshore (marine units) and onshore (land-based) air transport, aerial inspection of power transmission lines and pipelines, air medical transport, and helicopter chartering (spot flight sales),” shares Junia.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

China sends to Africa an 800-ton, 130-meter underground machine to open 9.7 km in a copper mine in Zambia, replacing drilling with explosives and sustaining an annual production of 60,000 tons of the metal in a new era of African digital mining.

Maranhão inaugurates an unprecedented structure for the reuse of fish waste and bets on technology developed by Codevasf and UFMA to create high value-added products with potential impact on the bioeconomy.

Volkswagen adopted the four-day week more than 30 years ago, reduced the working hours to 28.8 hours, and showed that working less could also save jobs.

In a single year, scientists from a major ocean census cataloged over eleven hundred marine species that no one had ever described before.

China returned Brazilian ships with soybeans and is now tightening rules for food from Brazil, creating a new requirement effective today and placing 96,000 foreign exporters under strict supervision by the Chinese customs GACC.
