The EC175 has been stationed in Aberdeen, Scotland for the past two days as part of the EC175 North Sea Demo Tour following its successful visit to Norwich, England.
On Tuesday, May 20, the most influential press from the Aberdeen area and several key trade media toured around the aircraft and gained an appreciation of the qualities it has to offer, from its operational capability to its economic efficiency. The EC175 also visited CHC Scotia in Aberdeen where the operator's staff, including pilots, flew and evaluated the aircraft.
On Wednesday, May 21, the demo tour team welcomed several key representatives from the major oil and gas companies operating in the North Sea, along with representatives from the two main unions, who took part in demonstration flights. Pilots from Bristow and CHC also took the aircraft for a spin.
