EHC chooses to focus in training only

The Norwegian flight school European Helicopter Center announces that it will cancel its commercial flight operations branch during the spring of 2017. The company has decided to focus solely on its core business – the flight training operations.

At the same time, the company Pegasus Helicopter will purchase EHC’s two AS350 helicopter. Pegasus has bases at Oslo-Gardermoen and Stavanger-Sola, and they will now enhance its coverage by the addition of a base at Sandefjord Lufthavn in Torp.

“We see that the demand for helicopter pilots is great, both in Norway and elsewhere in Europe. We can now focus 100% on our academy and, in the future, educate even more pilots to both the Norwegian and international market. We are pleased that Pegasus has taken over our operating business”, says CEO Christina Williams Søiland.
