Company Expands Presence in the Oil and Gas Sector with Sikorsky S-92, Highlighting Safety and Innovation in Complex Operations
Líder Aviação, recognized in the aviation sector of oil and gas, announces a crucial expansion in the Brazilian pre-salt with two new contracts. In this way, the company strengthens its capacity to meet offshore operations, where safety and efficiency are absolute priorities.
Expanded Fleet and Base in Rio de Janeiro
To this end, Líder Aviação has allocated two Sikorsky S-92 aircraft exclusively for these operations. While one was already part of the fleet, another was incorporated in September, now totaling 16 S-92 aircraft. This strengthens the company’s base in Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro, where it can efficiently serve remote oil platforms.
Safety and Innovation at the Core of Operations
To ensure maximum safety, Líder invests in cutting-edge technology and rigorous training. With these new contracts, as highlighted by Operations Director Diego Reis, the company reaffirms its commitment to remain a reference in safety and innovation in offshore operations, which are essential for the oil and gas sector.
