Offshore Helicopter Operator Bristow Group Will Rename Its Aeróleo Division in Brazil to Bristow, Continuing to Focus on Support for the Oil and Gas Industry and Other Aerial Logistics Solutions
The traditional Aeróleo in Macaé is a company of the Era Group that will now be called simply Bristow after the merger, creating a new giant in the helicopter industry, in a contract signed in June this year. With the recent demand from Petrobras and other operators in Brazil for aerial logistics, this merger could bring many benefits and national investments.
